New Delhi: The popular quiz show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' season 12 has seen three women crorepatis so far. Contestant Tej Bahadur Singh, a boy from a humble background, hailing from a farmer’s family managed to win Rs 50 lakh but could not answer the Rs 1 crore question.

Tej Bahadur played the game brilliantly by answering all the tough questions smoothly, using his mind and by making use of the four lifelines. He impressed the host Amitabh Bachchan with his dedication to study and crack the civil services exam, not getting bogged down by extreme conditions.
