Shashwat had shared earlier in the episode that he lost his mother and said that this incident made him realise that the materialistic things don’t matter in life. “This money means nothing to me because ever since this happened with my mother, my perspective towards life has changed. I realised that the materialistic things will be left here and we will leave the world. My focus is only on happiness and giving back to the society.”
