As he has had 7 surgeries in the past and the last one costed him Rs 8 lakh. He does not have any medical or health insurance, so he would use it for the payment of his loans.
"I will give the entire amount to my parents. They have sacrificed a lot for me. I will use the money for my health treatment and financial crisis," Chander told Bachchan sahab. The Rs 1 crore question asked to the contestant was, "The largest city in which country is not its capital but a port with an Arabic name that means abode of peace?"
