Jasnil on winning ₹1 crore
As per the report after winning ₹1 crore, Jasnil shared, "Sir, since I knew about KBC, it was my dream to be on this stage. From 2011, I was constantly trying to come here. I remember that I cried more thinking about KBC than breathing. I used to work rigorously but constantly tried for KBC. People mocked me but I still felt that one day I would prove them all wrong. I dreamt that one day my whole life would change."

That little kid once told me, 'Zaroor aayega (It will definitely come)', I didn't teach him this, it was naturally his instinct and this belief motivated me. He said, 'Papa jab jana tab chamchamati car leke aana (Papa, when you go, bring a shiny car).' It is his belief that made me reach here." Jasnil also got a chance to take home an electronic appliance as a souvenir and he chose a new TV.
