IANS, KBC winner Sushil Kumar on Tuesday denied reports that he had complained about not getting his Rs.5 crore prize money, saying Sony officials were constantly in touch with him and he had complete faith that he would get it. "I have never said that I haven't got a single penny of the prize money. The channel had already told me that the money would be given to me in 60 days and that time period
is yet to be completed," Kumar said. A tabloid reported this week that Sushil Kumar, who made headlines in November when he became the first contestant to win Rs.5 crore ($1 million) on ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati 5’, hosted by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, has said he has not received a single penny from the prize money and that he hasn't received any call from the channel. Ever since the news came, people flooded the micro-blogging site Twitter with queries. However, the 27-year-old refuted the report and said: "The channel officials are constantly in touch with me and keeping me updated. The process is on. I have never said that the channel has not given me any intimation or hasn't called me. I have complete faith in the channel that I will get my money," he added.
