The question that tripped Utkarsh was: The following question was asked: ‘Which God wore a garland and told Amba the one who wears it shall be the one to kill Bhishma? The options given were Lord Shiva, Lord Kartyeke, Lord Vishnu and Lord Vayu according to Mahabharata.’ Unable to answer the question, Utkarsh decided to make a phone call to a friend using the lifeline of Video Call a Friend. His friend told him the solution was Lord Shiva and that was a wrong advice in the correct sense.
Utkarsh then uses the ‘Double Dip’ lifeline which is played to give opportunity of answering twice but the contestant has to continue. He initially picked Lord Shiva which was very wrong on his part and then he went on to pick Lord Vayu which was equally wrong. Thus, Utkarsh failed to get ₹25 lakh and got ₹3 only instead of it. Thus, chance of winning ₹25 lakh was lost and Utkarsh only got ₹3. 20 lakh instead.

The correct one was Lord Kartikeya as stated by Amitabh Bachchan. According to the Hindu epic Mahabharata despite the abilities and invincibility else can be provided; Lord Kartikeya in his six face form offered a garland of flowers to Amba and told her that who ever will wear this garland will sure going to die Bhishma. No one responded, Amba left and later was born as Shikhandini and by using the garland she did that as well.
The show will be continued on Sony Entertainment Television from 12-08-2018 with more dramatic moments and tough questions for the participant on the weekday at 9 PM only.
