She appeared on the show along with Aarakshan co-star Saif Ali Khan to plug the film.
Deepika's top had long sleeves, a heavily embellished bodice, and a shimmering golden hem that reached her ankles. She matched it with an ivory churidar.
She accessorized with tan leather embroidered mojaris and statement cage gold earrings.
Her hair was styled half up half down with a bouffant top and curly bottom tresses.
She matched the bold color of her dress with a red bindi, thick eyeliner on lids, nude lips and red nails. 
Filming of the episode was stalled several times due to pelting rain that interfered with the sound recording.
When the filming finally wrapped, show host Amitabh Bachchan thanked Deepika and Saif for their patience over his Twitter account.
"A most exhausting day at KBC ... and the rain did not help the recording at all ... but thank you Saif and Deepika for bearing up .."
It is the season of reds for Deepika. She features on the cover of the August 2011 issue of Maxim wearing a red boyfriend blazer atop a black bikini top and black barely there shorts, and on inside pages in revealing red dresses.
The cover story is titled as: Deepika Padukone - Dipped in Seductive Reds, She Burns Up Our Pages!
Deepika Padukone wowed in a red and golden anarkali dress appearing on an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 5 at Filmcity, Goregaon, Mumbai on Sunday, July 31.
