However, he was brought up in Vizag, Andhra and his schooling was also from Naval Public School in Vizag. When he contested in KBC junior 2001, Saini was studying class 10. “Though I won Rs 1 crore I got Rs 69 lakh after deduction of taxes and that too four years later,” Saini told.

This is because, the boy was only 14 years during his winning moment and as per the rules of the show, the prize money is given to the winners after they turn 18. So, after his 10th, Saini did MBBS from Mahatma Gandhi Medical College in Jaipur but he joined the police force as he took his own father as a role model.
