An Indian man working abroad shared on Reddit that his parents asked him to contribute an additional Rs 15-20 lakh for his elder brother's apartment, despite already providing Rs 19 lakh for the brother's wedding and supporting the family financially for years. The man has been living overseas for three years after six years working in India, where he bought an apartment housing his parents.
