No, it’s a ₹10 crore dining table !! Haha! I don’t hold the Guinness World Record for the most expensive table ever. Nor do I intend to. Press - don’t fall for BharatPe Board (undisclosed sources) lies - you’ll lose your credibility like them."
In another tweet, he wrote, "It’s not even worth 0.5% of that. I’d rather put ₹10 cr in business and create employment for 1,000 of folks so that they can earn and put a dignified meal on their tables for their families. Score; Self Goal (Loss of Credibility) by BharatPe Board / Investors - 1: Lavishness - 0."
