"My entire childhood, we would only hear about loans of Rs 25 lakh, Rs 30 lakh, interest rates, saving for sister's wedding. That's what happens in middle class families. It's not that we were poor or anything, we were blessed. My father took care of us. Even during my first album, my father put in money for that. For my first album, my father sold our Zen for Rs 2.5-3 lakh and he got another Rs 2.5-3 lakh on loan and put in all that money on my first album."
