A 14-year-old child made history on the renowned quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati by being the youngest winner of ₹ 1 crore ever. Mayank, a Class 8 boy from Mahendragarh, Haryana, astounded showgoers on the 15th episode of the renowned program presented by Amitabh Bachchan when he successfully answered the 16th question for ₹ 1 crore.
The show’s creators released a teaser on X that features a self-assured and driven Mayank taking home the grand prize. The young competitor can be heard in the video saying, “Your knowledge is the only thing that matters.” Additionally, in the teaser, Mr. Bachchan is seen asking Mayank’s parents about his outstanding performance. “He has also caused stress to his teachers.” In the classroom, he is two steps ahead of them.”
Mayank demonstrated exceptional skill in his pursuit of the enormous prize, winning ₹ 3.2 lakh without the need for any lifelines and used his first lifeline to answer the ₹ 12.5 lakh question.
Mayank breezed through the first fifteen questions and got to the “Rs 1 crore” question. The question posed to him was, “Which European cartographer is credited with creating the map that names the newly discovered continent America?”
Giovanni Battista Agnese, Martin Waldseemüller, Geradus Mercator, and Abraham Ortelius were the four choices.

Mayank secured ₹ 1 crore by selecting Martin Waldseemuller, which was the right choice. He tried the last question for ₹ 7 crore as well, but was unable to respond and gave up the game. Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar also praised the young champion, posting a congratulatory message on X.
