Gautam Kumar Jha, the third contestant to become a crorepati on Amitabh Bachchan's show Kaun Banega Crorepati, was among the contestants who attempted Rs 7 crore question. Not knowing the answer, Jha quit the show and went home with Rs. 1 crore only.

So what was the question which made Jha come so close to winning Rs. 7 crore, but go home as only a crorepati? "What was the name of all the three soccer clubs set up with the help of Mahatama Gandhi in the early 20th century at Durban, Pretoria and Johannesburg?," was the question which was posed to Gautam.

The options for the question were - "Truth Seekers, Non–Violents, Passive Resisters, Non co-operators." Gautam, who quit the show, as format of the show, had to anyway pick an option. He chose 'Truth Seekers', which happened to be the wrong answer. The right answer was 'Passive Resisters'.

In an interview with IANS, Gautam said that he wants to buy a home for himself and family in Patna. He also happened to mention the desire to help poor girls of his village. "My wife and I are planning to buy a house in Patna. I also want to support girls in my village who hail from a poor economic background by contributing around Rs 40,000 to Rs 50,000 every year for their marriage. That way, their families will feel less pressure and we will also try to support their education and bring their lives on track," stated the third crorepati.
