The latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 17 started with rollover contestant Abhishek Yadav, who ended up winning Rs 5,00,000 after giving a wrong answer to Rs 7,50,000 question.

After he made an exit, Dhara Sharma from Vadodara Gujarat won the fastest finger first round and made it to the hot seat. After sitting on the hot seat, Dhara shared that her parents always encouraged her to prioritize studies, as they believed education gives the strength to handle any situation in life.She further added that her parents knew that she is an 'Ambivert' in life and she will do it. Big B curiously asks Dhara the meaning of the term “Ambivert.”

She explains that many contestants on the show talk so much that they don’t let the host speak, and they are called Extroverts. On the other hand, there are contestants who barely speak and need to be encouraged, and they are Introverts. Since she falls somewhere in between these two extremes, she describes herself as an Ambivert.

Mr. Bachchan looks puzzled and starts wondering which category he himself belongs to.

Amitabh Bachchan resumes the game and asks her questions while answering a question for Rs 15,000. Which of these tools would you typically use during birdwatching? She selects Option A) Binoculars. After answering it correctly, Dhara reveals she loves birdwatching and she has 15 nests for them at home. Mr. Bachchan asks Dhara if there is a special term for people who enjoy birdwatching. Dhara replies that it is called “Avphilic”—derived from Avi (bird) and Philic (lover)—meaning bird lover.

Giving playful examples, she adds that since he loves poetry, he can be called Poetophilic, and because of his deep love for his wife Jaya Bachchan, he is Jayaphilic. She further jokes that while everyone loves Jaya Bachchan, his love for her is far greater than anyone else's. He thanks her and says, "Patni ji aaj bahot khush hone waali hai." Dhara adds that all the fans who love Mr Bachchan are called 'Bachanophilic'.Big B humbly thanks Dhara for sharing her knowledge and jokingly adds that he will now go around flaunting everything he has learned from her today.Amitabh Bachchan talks to Dhara about her future plans and she reveals working at ONGC is a great thing but she doesn't want to stop here and achieve greater heights. She reveals she wants to attempt UPSC once and try for IAS. He then playfully asks Dhara about her marriage plans. Dhara reveals that she had met two boys through an arranged setup by her parents but was shocked to learn that, despite being well-educated and from elite institutions, they were demanding dowry.

This revelation leaves Big B stunned, and he strongly condemns such practices. Dhara further explains that the boys made it clear—if a certain amount wasn’t paid, they wouldn’t consider the proposal, adding that they even boasted of having other options. Amitabh Bachchan says, "Agli baar unko bolna tel lena jaao. This practice of dowry is a stain on women — people think they should only be educated up to the eighth grade and then confined to household chores.

But you have set a remarkable example by pursuing education, and you are determined not to stop here."After answering the next few questions correctly, Dhara faces the question for Rs 3,00,000. Which of these flowers, seen in the Nilgiri ranges, blooms once every 12 years. Dhara goes with Option B) Neelakurinji.
