Yes, his knowledge earned him Rs 1 crore by answering all 15 questions correctly. Later, Ravi decided to prepare for the UPSC Civil Services exam. It is worth mentioning here that Saini (now 33 years old) took charge as the Superintendent of Police, Porbandar.
In a conversation with the Times of India in 2017, Ravi told that he had 1 crore in the show. He was given a cheque of Rs 69 lakh after tax deduction by KBC host Amitabh Bachchan. However, the prize money was given after the age of 18 years as per KBC rules.
He told The Indian Express, “After my schooling, I did my MBBS from Mahatma Gandhi Medical College in Jaipur. I was doing my internship after MBBS when I cleared UPSC. My father was in the navy and I joined the police force after being inspired by him.”
Saini qualified for the Indian Police Services in 2014, with an All-India rank of 461. Talking about his new role, he said, “My role would be the implementation of lockdown in Porbandar in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. Also, the law and order situation remains our topmost priority.”
