So Now onwards I don't want to waste my time with meeting random people who think they're creative geniuses. So I will now have rates. If someone wants to meet me for 10-15 minutes I will charge 1 lac, for half hour 2 lacs and for 1 hour 5 lacs. That's the rate. I am tired of wasting time meeting people. If you really think you can afford it, call me or stay the f*ck away. And all paid in advance." While proceeding further in the caption, he cleared the air that it's no joke and quoted, "And I mean it Don’t text or dm or call me. Pay and you will get time . I am not a charity and I am tired of people looking for shortcuts."
