Amitabh then welcomed the previous day's rollover contestant, Shourjya Das, who continued with her gameplay.

Shourjya managed to play successfully until the INR 25 lakh question, but it was the question for INR 50 lakh that left her blanked.

The question for the major prize was: "In the 1930s, a library at Lucknow University was commissioned from the architect who also designed which national capital?" The options were: Wellington, Canberra, Toronto, Brasilia.

Shourjya was unsure about the correct answer, so she quit the game and walked away with INR 25 lakh. Upon quitting, she guessed Canberra, which was the right answer.
