Daughter’s fees and Javed’s Financial Issues
Speaking to a news platform Javed said-
“I have a daughter who studies in Class 8. As a father, I try to train her better. Earlier, as long as the work was going on, there was no problem. But things have been deteriorating over the past few days. My daughter’s online class is going on. She was waived off for three months’ fees, but we had to pay about Rs. 2500 every month. When I went to school and spoke to the administration there, they said that they are already forgiven three months.”

“Money is such that at times what happens is when you ask it from someone, they start ignoring your call. And then even when you want to talk about some other project, they continue ignoring you,”

“Make ends meet by selling wife’s gold”
He also said-
“The fear is that whatever projects you may get, they may also get out of your reach. That’s why people like us make ends meet by borrowing money from fends that don’t belong in the industry or by selling the gold of wife or by putting down the papers of property.”
