‘KBC 13’: Can you answer this question about the Indian Government that made Pratik Gandhi-Pankaj Tripathi quit?

On the recent Shandaar Shukravaar episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati season 13, host Amitabh Bachchan welcomed actors Pankaj Tripathi and Pratik Gandhi. The performers competed for a chance to win a large sum of money for a charity they support, and they won $12,500 on the show.

They were perplexed by a question involving a sum of 25,000 rupees. After exhausting all other options, the two decided that taking this 'risk' would be a waste of time. For Rs. 25 lakh, the question was-

Q.The Government of India is planning to build the National Maritime Heritage Complex at which of these historical places in India?

Their options were-

A. Hampi,

B.Konark,

C.Lothal

D.Mahabalipuram.

Pratik and Pankaj decided that it would be best to quit the show with ₹12.5 lakh in hand. But host Amitabh asked them to make a guess anyway before leaving. They chose Mahabalipuram but the right answer was Lothal.

As far as rest of the episode is concerned, Pankaj mentioned that, unlike other struggling actors, he was able to avoid sleeping at Andheri station thanks to his wife, Mridula Tripathi, in the episode. He went on to say that she was there for him while he looked for work.

Pankaj further revealed to Big B that he had met his future bride while travelling by train. He kept peeping and interacting with her because she appeared to be quite attractive to him. After that, they communicated for days and fell in love with each other. Pankaj had earlier stated that he would wander around Andheri pleading for an acting gig.
