    Where are the winners of the previous seasons of 'KBC'?

    When Kaun Banega Crorepati was aired for the first time in 2000, it became an instant hit. After all, it had a different format as compared to the other shows that were on TV that time, and also because of its huge prize money. It did change lives of many. Now that KBC 11 is airing, let's do a rundown of previous seasons' winners.

    Binita Jain became the first crorepati on 'KBC 10'

    Binita Jain, a Guwahati-based teacher, was the first winner of tenth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. The lady, who had won Rs. 1 crore, had quit the game as she was unsure of the jackpot question worth Rs. 7 crore. However, after bowing out of the show, on Bachchan's insistence, she did try the last question, and her answer turned out be true!

    Her husband got kidnapped, but she refused to give up

    While on the hot-seat, when asked about her life, Binita said her husband went missing during a business trip in 2003, after he was kidnapped by terrorists. He's still missing. Her life turned upside-down, but Binita regrouped herself and her life. A single mother of two, she said that she'd use up the winning amount to set up a dental clinic for her son.

    Rahat Taslim had won Rs. 1 crore in 'KBC 4'

    Rahat Taslim, who was an ordinary homemaker from a conservative Muslim household in Giridh, Jharkhand, rose to fame after she won the fourth season of Kaun Banega Crorepati.

Taslim opened a garment showroom in a mall in her home town, which is doing fairly well.

    10/12

    None of the contestants won 'KBC 3' prize money

    Notably, the third season of Kaun Banega Crorepati came with a slight change as Shah Rukh Khan replaced Bachchan as the host. While the winning amount of the show was Rs. 2 crore, none of the contestants managed to win the prize money. Besides, the show also witnessed a massive decline in the TRPs, which was apparently due to the change of the host.
