The Smriti-Saakshi duo played the initial set of questions with ease and confidence, thereby preserving their lifelines for a later stage in the game. Mr Bachchan tried to lighen the mood by asking the two women about their struggle in the entertainment industry.
Question 11 saw the duo use their first lifeline, 50-50:
How do we better know Mirra Arfassa?
a) Sister Nivedita b) The Mother
c) Dhikap Cama d) Madam Blavatsky
Even after using a lifeline they seemed rather confused. After studying the question carefully and discussing among each other, they decided to Flip the question.
The Flipped question turned out to be a cakewalk and the bahus pocketed their cheque of Rs 25,00,000.
The excitement was mounting as Tulsi and Parvati reached the Rs 50,00,000 mark, with two lifelines still in hand. But the 13th question turned out to be tricky one:
Where would you find the largest pyramid ever built?
a) Mexico b) Egypt
c) China d) Libya
Despite Mr Bachchan's insistence on using a lifeline, the duo made a hasty decision and locked the wrong answer. Shocked and disappointed, they had to leave the game with Rs 6,40,000.
With Smriti and Saakshi declared out, it was now time for the first round of Fastest Finger First. The set of 10 contestants were exclusive, as it consisted of members of the two on-screen families, the Viranis and Agarwals.

The couple used their first lifeline, Audience Poll for the sixth question:

c) Indrajit d) Yajnasina
Not knowing the answer, they decided to use their Phone a Friend lifeline. But they did not seem satisfied by the response and decided to Flip the question.
