Neha Kumari consumed her three lifelines in her last episode, winning Rs. 40,000.

But the joyful woman didn’t stop smiling, for which Amitabh Bachchan appreciates her. The episode stores a heart touching moment when Neha’s husband gets on the stage with a guitar in his hand. He croons ‘Jab Koi Baat Bigad Jaaye’ for his beautiful wife. Neha Kumari rakes in Rs. 25 Lakh on the show.
