“The thing that changed for me was when I saw the contract. Whatever you give and what they said they will give was also like ‘what! I can make this and that got me thinking. So, I said, this world exists? And that’s when I told my father, look at my age. I have the time. I have it on my side. I promise you, give me three years. If this doesn’t work out, I will do what you’re saying, but look at the amount of money. If it works out, I can use that for life.”
