Main shakkar pe gud milata rehta hoon aur shakkar me itna gud milaya ki diabetes ka khatra ho gaya (I keep adding sugar to jaggery and that turned into a diabetes threat). I was launching my brother and did not leave any stone unturned. Paisa paani ki tarah bahaya (spent a lot of money).” He added, “So, I decided someone else should launch the kids. I will invest (money) as per their market value once they are all set (in the profession).”
