In November 2023, Vijaypat told Business Today that his his son “took away everything from him”. He said that he survives on the little money he is left with, adding, “I have no business. He had agreed to give me some parts of the company. But of course, for him to back out is a two-second deal, he backed out. So I have nothing else, I gave him everything. By mistake I was left with some money on which I'm surviving today. Otherwise I would have been on the road. He'd be happy to see me on the road. I'm sure of that.
