Winner Of KBC's 1 Crore Prize Money Awarded With A Hyundai Venue

The winner of Rs 7 crore prize money in the game show will be awarded with a Hyundai Alcazar this season

A brand-new Hyundai Venue has been awarded to the first ‘Crorepati’ of the 16th season of the popular TV game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). Chander Prakash, a 22-year-old UPSC aspirant from Jammu and Kashmir, had correctly answered the Rs 1 crore question and won the prize money in the game show. Notably, Hyundai Motors India Limited is one of the title sponsors of the game show and has thus felicitated the winner with its subcompact SUV.

Tarun Garg, Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Hyundai Motor India, has also congratulated the winner on his achievement. However, Prakash quit the game before answering the Rs 7 crore question, which, if answered, could have won him a Hyundai Alcazar along with the show’s heftiest prize money.
