He used to say that all the time, and I listened to him. So, I chose to struggle then, and today I'm living a comfortable life. I worked hard after the age of 18 instead of going to college and hanging out with girls. I really wanted to, I was a romantic guy. I wanted to have girlfriends, I wanted to have affairs. But then I thought, 'My father is saying this for a reason. Let's not waste time. Let's work hard’. So, after completing my 12th grade, I came to Bombay when I was 18. That turned out to be the right decision. If I hadn't come then, I probably wouldn't have gotten work until I was 19. By the age of 21, I was doing ‘Sa Re Ga Ma’. I came at the right time, and the right things happened. I also witnessed the beginning of television and caught that wave”."},{"text":"“If I had come later, I would have been second or third in line. I was a pioneer, an early bird. So, everything worked out beautifully, and I have every reason to thank God and all the people around me, my father, my parents, and my teachers”, he
