Star Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya attended Gaurav Kapoor s famous talk show ‘Breakfast with Champions’. During the conversation, Pandya revealed that he used to hid his car because lack of money for paying EMIs.

Talking about the old days, he said “I have struggled for three years. We used to save Rs 5 and Rs 10. I still remember in IPL, we got around Rs 70 thousand and we thought we would survive on it for some time. Because we were struggling for almost three years then.”

“We had not paid EMI for two years. We were smart, we used to hide our car. We didn’t want the car to go. Everything we earned in those three years was supposed to be saved for the car rather than having something new for us or buying something. It was just car’s EMI and food that mattered to us at that time,” he added.

However, his life changed like a magic wound. After receiving a Mumbai Indians‘ call-up, things started to fall in its place. “God is kind. My first year, we won the IPL and then I got a cheque of Rs 50 lakhs. From there, I got a car for free and I bought a new car as well. Imagine, three months back we were struggling and fighting for money and within three months I have Rs 50-60 lakhs in my pocket. It was all about saving at that time,” quoted Pandya.
