Undoubtedly, winning seems surreal to everyone, but when it comes to winning a big reality show like MasterChef, then winning seems beyond amazing. The same is the case with MasterChef India 7 winner, Nayanjyoti Saikia. After winning the competition, the winner told India Today that although he had simple dreams, this win fulfilled all his goals.

Nayanjyoti Saiki shared that despite having many self-doubts, the judges' motivation made him hold onto hope and even win the competition. He also explained how the judge, Vikas Khanna helped him since the audition and how happy his father is, who was once against the idea of Nayanjyoti being a chef. He shared that all the achievements are worth it. In Nayanjyoti Saikia's words:

"I had a simple dream and that was to go to MasterChef India and cook, but now I feel like all my goals in life are complete. I not only go to MasterChef, but I also got the apron, and winning this intense food competition feels surreal! I had my self-doubts, but the three judges motivated us so much, especially Chef Vikas Khanna who has helped me so much since the day of the auditions. The biggest thing is that my father is the happiest of them all; he was against the idea of seeing me cook but today, this achievement makes it all worth it."
