A very difficult year was 2020, because the world was falling and at the same time I was fully broke. I was living off my father’s money. The only reason I could actually survive in Mumbai financially was because I was living with my dad. If it wasn’t for my dad, I don’t think I would have been able to survive in Mumbai financially.’
