In an interview with AajTak, Kapil said (in Hindi), "I have also lost a lot of money… But, truthfully, I don’t think about all this. I know that I have a house, a car, I have a family, and that’s all that matters. Of course, I’m no saint. I won’t turn down good money. But even today, meri sonch salary wali hai. My wife likes spending on things, but I don’t. But she comes from money, so it’s different."
