In a chat with Siddharth Kannan, Ammy Virk reflected on his early days and mentioned that his family purchased an AC for the first time in 2009, and six people would sleep in the same room.

Ammy Virk said, "For my music album, my father sold a car for Rs 2.5-3 lakh and took a loan of another Rs 2.5 lakh."

The Punjabi Munda stated that his father used to fulfill his wishes, invest in education, and put money into his first music album.
In the same conversation, Ammy said, "Sabse pehle unka karza tha jo Rs 30-40 lakh ka, wo utaara tha. Baad mein unke liye ghar banaya maine. 2013-2015, maine gaaya aur inn teen saalon ki poori kamayi ghar pe lagayi thi gaon mein (My parents had a debt of Rs 30-40 lakh and I paid it off. Later, I built a house for them. From 2013 to 2015, I sang, and whatever money I received in these three years, I invested in that house which was being built in my village)."
The actor went on to add that he got Italian marbles and full body showers worth Rs 6 lakh in the newly built home.
