But I was never a rich guy in India. It is expensive and there is always some kind of exploitation going on. When I started working as a VJ, my financial condition improved than what it was back then when I was working in a call centre. But also, the lifestyle stepped up. The money that was coming, was also going to keep up with the lifestyle. I had taken a house and a car.
