Reportedly Chouhan was trying to inspire students of Class XII who scored less than 70%. He said during the speech, "You all must have heard of Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, the one who hosts Kaun Banega Crorepati. He did not have any good formal education degrees. He was once rejected by Akashvani due to his voice, but today he is famous because of his voice."
Urging students not to lose hope, he further added, “If you keep your spirit high, like these icons, and make them your inspiration, you will never need to get good marks."
