Other side of fame and money: boAT cofounder Aman Gupta, worth Rs 700 crore, says relationships are not same anymore, people judge you

Money and fame can bring success, but they also bring scrutiny. On the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, some of India’s top entrepreneurs—including Paytm's CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma, boAT's co-founder and CMO Aman Gupta, OYO Room's CEO Ritesh Agarwal, and Mamaearth's co-founder Ghazal Alagh—opened up about how wealth changes relationships. Behind the laughs and banter, the stars revealed the challenges of being judged by friends and family once success arrives, showing that the personal cost of fortune can be as real as the financial rewards.

In a behind-the-scenes clip shared on YouTube, Kapil asked whether relationships change when money comes in.

People may comment that he has “become a big man,” but he believes he was always confident in his own worth. He shared that his mother’s advice keeps him grounded, reminding him that even great pride, like Ravan’s, does not last, and that downfall begins when success goes to one’s head.
