Lucky guess or match fix?

In today's episode of KBC. The lady that closed today's episode with answering that impossible question only answerable by the likes of a Historian. I genuinely believe she was pre-fed the answers prior to her appearance. After having shown what she does for a living, she holds a pretty solid job in the real estate sector, a job that runs heavily on bribes. I wouldn't be surprised if her whole appearance on KBC is the result of a form of business transaction. If this is the case, it bags the question on the loyalty of the show.

i disagree just cause the answer was right it does not constitute fixing...however it is india so you never know...lol...what do others think...

You're wrong. Even I knew the answer was Sir Hugh Rose. Rani Laxmibai was a very famous freedom-fighter and I bet you that every Indian school has the name SIR HUGH ROSE mentioned in History books if the chapter is related to the Rebellion of 1857 or Rani Laxmibai. The name is very popular in India.

i had heard that name first time yesterday and so far i dint read that name even in gk books but william hondson i hv heard several times ...

Even I knew its was Sir Hugh Rose. Maybe she watched Jhansi Ki Rani on Zee Tv too. Do not under estimate people we tend to pick up facts from different sources without even realising it.

I too have been gobsmacked that some people do not know the simplest answer to questions living in India and me living in UK knowing it.

balram or krishna...AB does help out...whenever the question is easy and 2 or 3rd.. he will ask them again and again are you sure...

basically telling them to get and use help!!!! the question about state carved out...i thought answer was MP./...per google...chittrag...cant remember but not sure about orissa...She was smart and only did calculated risks...others get too overconfident and think they know it all...and risk it all..the biggest one was the one who had the crush on deepika padukone...last season...

i am happy she won, regardless of her personal life choice careers..

I know I was shouting at the screen Balaram, couldn't believe he had to waste a lifeline on that question.

If this were the case, this question wouldn't and shouldn't be placed as question #11. Should be far down below the latter than.

BTW, thank you to everyone for providing their input.

Maybe. But then they even asked WHICH COUNTRY GOT INDEPENDENCE IN JULY 2011 for 50 lakhs which was SO DAMN EASY - South Sudan. Obviously, any newspaper-reader would know this because it was so recent. And the fools asked it for 50 lakhs !!!

The irony is that on the day, I knew the answer to the 1 crore question too about SUZANNE R D TATA being the first person in India to DRIVE A CAR !!! I had read that on Wikipedia while I was preparing for my KBC auditions earlier this month. Wish I was on the hotseat !!!

Or she took a lucky guess. Though, if this is the case, it's pretty remarkable that she did so, even with two life lines still available to her.

After her answering the question, Bachchan throws in a dialogue about the progress of women in today's day and age. Mind you, I don't deny the integrity of his dialogue. But it seems to me a bit too far-fetched that this women was capable of answering such a question and Bachchan's dialogue could be a form of a cover-up on her actual wits.

Would love to hear what others think also?
