Having A Bad Day? Buy Cars!
Deepinder Goyal said, "It's just those childhood dreams of buying toys, so having a bad day, emotional ups and downs, sometimes you feel vaccumed, then I buy them." Goyal mentioned another incident with his father when he bought a luxurious car worth crores, and his father asked him why he would do that. He simply answered his father that he was having a bad day, which further irritated his father.
Goyal mentions that he regrets putting money into the cars. "I don't drive them, they are just like toys, but luckily cars also sell for almost the same price, the cars I buy, sometimes more than the expected amount."
Differences With Family
Deepinder Goyal opened up about the differences with his family. Goyal said that he moved out of his family home at the age of 15 for further studies, which got him disconnected from them. He said, "we as a family are connected, we are close but we didn't live together.
He revealed that he can't 'put up' with his father. "Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Ziddi mein bhi hoon, ziddi woh bhi hain. In the same room, if there is a difference of opinion between us, it just blows up."
Deepinder Goyal's podcast continues to garner attention online, with the podcast already receiving more than 1 million views on YouTube.
