Khan Sir Revealed Why He Rejected Offer
While interacting with the guests, Kapil Sharma asked Khan Sir about reports claiming he rejected a lucrative ₹107 crore offer from an educational company. The question sparked an emotional response from the educator, who shared memories from his early student life. Khan Sir recalled that during his college days, financial hardships made travel and education extremely difficult.

He revealed that many students, including himself, could not afford reserved train tickets and often travelled under challenging conditions. According to him, those experiences shaped his philosophy toward education and affordability. Explaining his decision, Khan Sir said he never forgot the hardships he faced as a student. He emphasized that even today, a large percentage of Indian students struggle financially to access quality education.

He shared that accepting the offer would have required increasing course fees significantly something he was unwilling to do. His goal, he said, has always been to provide high-quality education at affordable prices. In a philosophical remark, Khan Sir added that wealth and empires are temporary, stressing that meaningful impact matters more than financial gain. He also revealed that the company which made the offer has since shut down.

Judge Archana Puran Singh asked why such a large amount was offered to him. Khan Sir explained that the organization wanted him to join their platform and help justify premium fees by leveraging his popularity. He said many high-priced institutions claim that premium education must come with premium pricing, but his team worked hard to prove that quality education can remain affordable while maintaining global standards.
