The 43-year-old billionaire quipped his father-in-law about the margins for various products, and he happily told him about getting a 25 per cent margin on chikkis. Nithin also hailed Shivaji for never complaining about anything in his life. In his words:
“I have never seen him wanting something or complaining, not even about losing his fingers in the war. Although, he did try to convince me to get a government job when I asked him permission to marry his daughter in 2007 when I was still struggling.”

Nithin, whose estimated net worth is 2.7 billion dollars, says that money cannot buy the sense of satisfaction that his father-in-law enjoys. Quoting him as the best example, Nikhil concluded his note as:
“I have been geeking out about increasing healthspan or how to live a good life until the end. I have no doubt that the answer is to be content and never stop being active mentally and physically. Money can't buy this, and he is the best example.”
