His mom brushed off this offer, telling Sahil that he could buy such expensive gifts once he starts earning ₹5 to 6 lakh a month. She did not realise that her son already earned well above that benchmark. “Spent the next 30 minutes getting her to believe me I make way more,” Sahil claimed on X. Ultimately, his mother bought the glasses as a gift from him. “Very wholesome day,” the trader concluded.
