In a conversation with IANS about Tejasswi's win and him walking out with a briefcase full of money, Nishat said: "I have always been fond of Tejasswi.

He then shared that he wanted his friend Pratik to win, something many fans wanted. "If you ask me honestly I wanted Pratik (Sehajpal) to win because he has given that much to the show. But if Tejasswi has won I am happy for her too. For me the person who is in the top 5 is deserving. For me, everyone who reached the top 5 is a winner."

Nishant said that he is happy with all the love coming his way and the decision of walking out with the briefcase containing Rs 10 lakh. "People are loving me so much that I can't digest it. I am happy that they love me so much. I think I must have done something right. For myself, I knew I should take the briefcase and not take so much stress," he said.
