On being crowned as the first crorepati of Kaun Banega Maha Crorepati, an elated Taj said, “It is a moment to rejoice & celebrate and extremely difficult to believe that ‘I am a Crorepati’. It is splendid indeed to know that I am also the first contestant this season to have won Rs. 1 Crore. I was confident of the game and did not want to exhaust my lifelines at the start of the game itself. Now that I have won, my priority remains in treating my 7 year old daughter who is partially blind. Also I wish to buy a house, educate three underprivileged girls and get two orphan girls married.”

Amidst all these, Taj added that he was playing this game for his daughter who is partially blind. The amount that he wins will be used to add a ray of hope to his daughter’s life.
