28/10/2010 KBC Episode had a question who was the first woman to contest in a presidential Election in India. ?
The options given on the screen were A. Prathiba Patil, B) Najma Heptullah, C)Laxmi Seghal, D)Vijaya Laxmi Pandit.
The options given were all wrong, it was very sad and disappointing to see and hear the candidate giving the answer as option C) Laxmi Seghal which was accepted as the right answer.
How could the producers give wrong options and accept a wrong answer this is not first time it has happened. Such wrong options and wrong answers were accepted in KBC 1, KBC 2 and KBC season 3 episodes. And it has been repeated in KBC season 4 episode. The General Knowledge the I. Q. Producing KBC is a big Zero if they do not know the right questions and the right answers they must never hold an intelligent programe called KBC.

The second woman candidate was Furcharan Kaur, who took on V.V. Giri on 1969 and finished fifth among 15 candidates. Kaur got 940 and Giri won with 401,515 votes making the fourth president for the country. Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, the second Muslim, became the fifth elected president of India in 1974.
