What Elvish said

"But good news is humne India ka record tod diya aur hum number 1 pe aa gaye hein... all thanks to you aap log na hote toh na ye record tut ta na tumhara bhai hota kuch bhi. Dhanyavaad sabhi logon ka (the good news is that we broke the record created in India and are now number 1. all thanks to you.

In an interview with Hindustan Times after winning the show, Elvish had shared, "I knew jeetunga toh mai hi (I knew I was going to win)… maybe. Abhishek (Malhan) was quite strong. He was in the house since the beginning with the support of his million followers. It was like uske jeetne ke chances hai poore poore (he had a fair chance). But, I never said that I will be a one-sided winner.” He had also revealed that he got 28 crore votes in just 15 minutes.
