She also opened up about her personal life and the difficulties she faces in maintaining a work-life balance. She revealed that she travels 120 km daily for work and said, "Even though I am a scientist at work, I try to maintain a balance at home. With the support of my husband and three children, I have been able to manage work at both places."
what was that question
Her game was good and she was full of confidence till she reached the question of Rs 25 lakh. But by then she had no lifeline left. Due to no lifeline, she had to face a difficult question. That question is-
According to the autobiography of Paramahansa Yogananda, which fruit did he suggest to Mahatma Gandhi and sent some of its saplings from California to Wardha? Its options are
A. Muskmelon, B. Huckleberry, C. Avocado, and D. Peach
Haripriya chose option C, avocado, but she was not completely sure. Not taking the risk, she wisely quit the game and won Rs 12.5 lakh. However, her answer was correct as avocado was the answer. This meant she could have won Rs 25 lakh.
