Sahil has revealed that he couldn’t contain his happiness on becoming this season's second crorepati. He shared, “Winning the title of a Crorepati is a big achievement for me. I couldn’t fathom this fact when Mr Bachchan announced that I have Rs 1 crore. It was surreal. With this amount, I will gift my mother a new house, get my younger brother a new cricket set and pump in the amount to achieve my larger dream of becoming an IAS officer.”
