In the Independence Day 2025 special of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 17, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, three distinguished women officers—Colonel Sofiya Qureshi (Indian Army), Wing Commander Vyomika Singh (Indian Air Force), and Commander Prerna Deosthalee (Indian Navy)—took the hot seat. Featuring personal accounts from Operation Sindoor, their participation underscored bravery and patriotism. Impressively, despite the time running out before the ₹50 lakh question, the trio correctly identified the designer of India Gate (Sir Edwin Lutyens) using Audience Poll and secured ₹25 lakh as winnings. They pledged the prize to the welfare funds of their respective services. (PC: Hindustan Times)
