While military officers' job is admirable and praise worthy, it does NOT make lots of money and their families definitely do struggle. With an older son in medical school (he was not yet a doctor when Gurmeet first became an actor), it's not hard at all to believe that Gurmeet's parents would not have enough money to support their younger son's acting ambition. By putting it plain and simple, Gurmeet has never insulted his parents. He has always mentioned how much their support has meant to him. They gave him the moral support needed to enter into such a risky field, and Debina gave him the financial support. There is nothing wrong in that.
You are annoyed that Gurmeet keeps telling his background story. Fine. At least telling one's own story is way better than demeaning others'
My personal friend is subedar's daughter who studied with me medicine in andhra christain college in vellore & it's the most expensive college & her brother went to UK to persue his management course, a subedar gets less pay than an officer 😆 that family is a poor family from north andhra,let me tell u madamme army people in india get all benifits & have reservations what ever course they persue. GC told he did his education in kendriya vidhyalaya.. U know the fees 15 RS that too for maintainence😆 45 for three months. so till 12th grade it was almost free😛 after 12th in which ever private colleges they join they have quotas service men be it medicine. so if he has come to mumbai with the permission of parents then it was his parents who really worked hard to send him for expenses bcz no body leaves a 19 years child trying hard his luck. that too army officer, about low pay, i disagree bcz after 5th pay commision the one who were best benifited & saw skyroketting salaries were armed forces with all benifits multifold increased from 1996. so Gurmeet can praise his wife we have no problem but don't insult armed personals helpless ness. I donno how people sell the crap by degrading their image just to win a show. Why he has to do this when it's already it's already fixed.
