Sony shared a new promo which shows Dipesh Jain telling a poem about how he had Kaun Banega Crorepati’s tune as his ringtone. He said people used to make fun of his choice of ringtone but he was confident that he will get a chance on the quiz show one day.

The promo was shared by Sony with the caption, “#DipeshJain ji aapke bheetar ye hausla barqaraar rakhiyega, kyunki aapko apne makaam tak pahunchne se koi nahin rok sakta! (Dipesh Jain, keep this courage forever because no one can stop you from reaching your destination).”
