When asked if anything had changed before and after receiving the award, he said, "People call me a lot asking me to do something. But the truth is, nothing has changed. I didn't even receive the prize money. I'm a practical person, so the lady helping me said, 'Is there any prize money?' So I said, ‘There is no ajumma.’ Nothing has changed, and I am making a lot of effort not to change.”
