"We had an idea of starting a tequila brand with a certain famous person. I took a bunch of friends to his house recently for dinner. So, I went in a hotel taxi, and when we were leaving, Abhishek sent a Rolls Royce, a Bentley and one or two other cars like that. And we went in like a posse of cars and I was like what is going on?"

At the end of it, he also shared that the Innova that he came in, was following him while he was returning. (Also Read: ‘Nikhil Kamath better off not being a father’: Zerodha co-founder's remarks on kids sparks debate)

After Nikhil Kamath's statement on the podcast garnered significant attention, Kerala-based Dr Cyriac Abby Philips, who goes by “The Liver Doc” on social media also reacted to it. He slammed Kamath and accused him of glorifying the alcohol business.

In his post, Dr Philips said, “So far so good. Alcohol is good business, a business that leech out others life. It rakes in money for governments through taxation & monopoly; and fattens the bank accounts of those behind the industry (like this round table group) and makes barons out of those who sell well.”

He further added, "But when these businessmen, start glorifying their business of alcohol by equating it to ‘good healthcare intervention,’ it goes definitely into the realm of health misinformation, which is why, I have to keep discussing this absolutely garbage myth that "alcohol in moderation is good for you" and the absolute nonsense disclaimer to support that myth, which they call "drink responsibly."
