Geeta Singh Gour, a homemaker from Madhya Pradesh, is the newly-minted crorepati on the show Kaun Banega Crorepati season 13. The Gwalior-resident quit after she failed to answer the Rs 7 crore question asked by host Amitabh Bachchan. Geeta is the third crorepati this season after Himani Bundela and Sahil Ahirwar. Until the Rs 1 crore question, she had used only two lifelines and correctly answered 15 questions.
Geeta had two lifelines left when she was presented with the Rs 1 crore question. However, she chose not to use any lifeline and confidently answered the question, leaving everyone impressed. Her confidence and knowledge also earned plaudits from Bachchan who gave a standing ovation while handing over the cheque worth Rs 1 crore to her.

The four options were – Don Felipe, Don Henrique, Don Carlos and Don Francisco. Not knowing the right answer, Geeta decided to quit the game at this point. After quitting, she guessed Don Henrique, as the answer but the correct answer was Don Francisco.
