First Junior Crorepati


Mumbai, JUNE 27. Ravi Mohan Saini has become the youngest `crorepati,' winning the popular TV quiz programme ``Kaun Banega Crorepati Junior,'' the programme organisers announced tonight.

The episode showcasing Saini's feat would be telecast on July 8, the Star TV CEO, Mr. Peter Mukherjea, told reporters here.

The 14-year-old Saini from Vishakapatnam, is the youngest son of sailor, Mr. M. L. Saini. Asked what he would do with the prize money, Saini said he would decide after four years when he will get the money on turning eighteen.

Saini, who wants to become a scientist, said it was a meeting with megastar Amitabh Bachchan that prompted him to participate in the show.
