The daily online quiz as part of the ongoing Grand Kerala Shopping Festival (GKSF) has become a huge hit, going by indications. Housewives, students and professionals in urban centres to rural folks have emerged as winners of the quiz, hosted by actress Ann Alexia Anra.
Nidhun C Nair, a soldier in the Army on leave, is one such active participant in the online quiz. “I am so excited to have won a prize. I will keep on answering questions every day,” he says. Deepa, a housewife from Thiruvananthapuram, is equally thrilled. “This is a great opportunity for common people to participate and win exciting prizes,” she says.
‘’We have seen a tremendous response to the quiz. More importantly, the winners also reflect the popularity of the quiz among different sections of the society, varied classes and diverse locations.
