Actually, India being a developing country means that it has a huge number of millionaires due to the insane wealth gap and inequality in the distribution of income. India is actually 3rd in the list of countries with the most billionaires after the US and China! I actually grew up in the city where Lailli's dad lives and a lot of people here are very wealthy but again, not as flamboyant with wealth as those who live in other countries because for the most part, the number of people you see living in extreme poverty makes showing off your wealth above a certain degree while living in India rather tasteless (in my opinion, anyway).Tthere's no way her dad is able to support them on his income - he lives in India and is paid in Rupees. Even if he was paid millions of rupees a year, that is still chumps change in the UK due to conversion rates even if that money means he lives a life of leisure in India. We are in two very different economies! 5 million Indian rupees is 48k here for example. So 1 million is like 9k.
I know horse breeding is obviously popular in India but as he's the manager and not the actual owner, it's not lucrative for HIM, therefore, he isn't earning enough to support them unless he's gambling on the horses and profiting off the poor with unethical business practices. I also think its weird they rarely ever see him considering they talk about him so often and how close they are. The last two times was when he came for Alizey's grad and then they went for that Indian wedding.
But feel free to correct me, bc I could be well off!
This however does not mean Lailli's dad is as wealthy as she portrays....obviously. I think you're getting confused because you're assuming 'millions' of INR (we actually use a different numbering system with lakhs and crores) is a very high salary when in reality I know many people who get paid MUCH more than that. It's the sad truth about living in a country with such disparity of resources :/
That being said, I found it so weird that Lailli had to take a cab when she was visiting her dad in Bangalore. The cabs here are incredibly unsafe and usually filthy There's no way my parents would be okay with me taking one... most rich people here have multiple cars and drivers because it's actually super cheap to have full-time drivers and staff here (again, sad, but just the truth). Idk what kind of 'heiress' is whipping around town in an UBER/OLA
