He is a TikTok star with a large fan following, known as Dr. Sunil Pol a famous dentist who recently brought his son and daughter "Khevin" and "Cathy" to openly share in the show “Kui Zab Show” on One 31 channel. In this event, Dr. Sunil clearly answered questions about how he became wealthy and addressed rumors about whether he is truly a mafia.
Already wealthy, so why do live selling?
Dr. Sunil said, "Four years ago, Netflix contacted us wanting to make a show about our family. At that time, the kids were in Switzerland, so it couldn't happen. When they returned, Khevin suggested to me that he wanted to do a live show."
Khevin said, "That day when we came home, we talked to Dad saying we had to do something. First, I must say Jenny is very talented. I’m a big fan of hers every day. So I told Dad let's try this new style."
Cathy added, "I happened to walk in then. We didn't want to use Dad's money, so we wanted to create something on our own. We returned Dad's credit card and started earning by ourselves. Our live shows weren't ordinary; they were reality-style live streams—fun and selling products at the same time."
Dr. Sunil said, "The company hiring us agreed with the kids that we must not overprice. We want to help fellow citizens who can't get their products into malls. If the kids agree, Dad will go all in."
Khevin said, "When Dad said that, at the prices we set, just the exposure itself was worth it."
Did you consult with Jenny before the live show?
Cathy said, "My brother and I really admire Jenny. We understand she has been through a lot but is determined to keep live selling and fighting on. Actually, Khevin and I had reserved a spot to live sell with Jenny, but due to circumstances, Jenny became my first customer. We were very excited to meet her. She taught us sales techniques, saying when starting live selling, we must be ourselves. She is our idol, and we must give it our all. Since then, our lives have changed."
Dr. Sunil said, "I personally designed the background set."
Before, Cathy was a rich girl. How much was the diamond necklace you live sold?
Cathy said, "Over 200,000 baht. We offered a very cute discount."
Dr. Sunil said, "It was the most expensive item sold on TikTok. Both Thailand and China were stunned."
Cathy said, "At that moment, when the necklace sold, it was shocking. We didn't expect anyone to buy it. The problem was many people added it to their cart but didn’t pay. Then suddenly, they checked out. Everyone there was shocked because our technique was to sell realness and be ourselves."
Dr. Sunil said, "The most important thing I tell my kids is that products we sell must be carefully selected, of good quality, and priced affordably."
Cathy said, "Once they pay, Dad is the one who delivers."
Dr. Sunil said, "The destination was an apartment. I thought it was an apartment we knew, but the buyer was a high-society person. I think my house is beautiful, but theirs is 100 times more so—a whole house of Versace. They were very kind. After this necklace, another phenomenon is coming: the world's most expensive toothbrush."
Another topic many talk about is how to eat instant noodles in the most luxurious way?
Cathy said, "I've been eating fried instant noodles for almost a month now."
Dr. Sunil said, "There's a story behind this. When I first opened my clinic, my wife had to help there, and the kids stayed at the clinic. The easiest food to prepare was fried instant noodles."
Khevin said, "As far as I remember, it was a dish Mom liked to cook for us."
Dr. Sunil said, "Madam wanted to teach her children to be down-to-earth. It doesn’t matter how we eat, as long as our stomachs are full. Eating doesn't have to be expensive."
Cathy said, "It's a memory my brother and I share since childhood. We've eaten it since we were kids. It's what we're used to."
Looking back, the doctor's life was not easy before this day, right?
Dr. Sunil said, "It wasn’t easy. After graduating university, I took a bus to Bangkok. When I arrived at Mo Chit, I looked around and told myself that one day, I would be the most well-known person in Bangkok. Today, that dream has come true. I started at Kluaynamthai and Phetchavej hospitals. In six months, I climbed to become department head. My income gradually improved."
Most see you making content, but are you really a doctor?
Dr. Sunil said, "I am a real doctor. I work 20 hours a day. I specialize in ceramic crowns. My patients come not only from Bangkok but all over Thailand and the world. They fly to the clinic. We have 25 dentists providing comprehensive services. We offer a small hotel for patients to stay, shuttle services, and full care until treatment is complete."
Another question: Are you Thai or Indian?
Dr. Sunil said, "I am 100 percent Thai, from Chiang Rai, now settled in Bangkok. My parents are Indian, but I am Thai with Indian ancestry, born in Thailand."
So, you really got rich from dentistry?
Dr. Sunil said, "Don't say rich. I prefer to say I am comfortable and financially secure. Richness has no limits. We have enough to live well. Though the house looks large, it is actually small but well designed with a wide frontage for grandeur, while the usable space isn't big."
After becoming a doctor, it took over 15 years before opening your own clinic. I spoke with my wife about opening a clinic, but we had no money for a shopfront. We started at home. After opening, we had no money to buy equipment, so I used connections as department head and called suppliers. They kindly let me take equipment first and pay later. I paid them back within 15 days."
What drives your ambition for success?
Dr. Sunil said, "When my father died, I was eight. It shocked me because he was wealthy, owning a hotel, market, and land, but relatives took everything, and I got nothing. So I lived with my aunt in Chiang Mai, who told me to become a doctor for a comfortable life. That idea stuck in my head. I was determined and diligent, though not naturally smart. I chose dentistry because after work I could party and not have to be on call."
Did you want both your children to become doctors initially?
Dr. Sunil said, "When Khevin told me he didn’t want to study medicine, I was saddened. Half an hour later, my daughter also said she didn't want to."
Cathy said, "At first, I studied science but didn’t like it. No matter how many extra classes I took, I didn’t understand. Dad kept telling me I must be a dentist. When Khevin told Dad he didn’t want to be a doctor, I immediately stepped in. It was time to speak up."
Dr. Sunil said, "That day shocked me so much I drove away from home. The biggest mistake of my life was not listening to my kids. Kids today have ideas far beyond ours. My son wanted to make music, but I insisted he be a dentist."
Khevin said, "At that time, I wanted to study accounting, and Cathy wanted marketing."
There’s a rumor that you are a mafia?
Dr. Sunil said, "The truth is this: I went to a friend's wedding in India at my wife's sister's house. I didn’t realize she was Madam’s sister, just thought she was a guest. I was impressed and asked for coffee. After talking, I proposed marriage. She was 17 and still in university. She asked if I could wait three years, and I did—3 years, 2 months, and 11 days."
During that time, we talked on the phone, but her parents disapproved. She had an older brother who opposed me. When I came to ask for her hand, her father slapped me and kicked me out. I told him I would one day buy his house. I returned to Thailand. Here, we have clients from all levels. I asked about surrogacy costs—they said 340,000 baht, so I arranged it. I’d stepped on Indian soil, so they brought her to Thailand."
Afterward, we married, and I called India warning them to beware if they came to Thailand. Three to four months later, Madam got pregnant. India told us to settle it, then asked us to have a ceremony in India since her family was wealthy."
They viewed dentistry as a lowly profession in India. I didn’t think I’d become this famous, but I gained my wife’s fortune to boost me. There was a low point in our marriage when we had to borrow money for surrogacy. The lender raided my house, and my wife said she would make me the most famous man in the world. That day is today—the one she awaited."
Do Khevin and Cathy have girlfriends or boyfriends now?
Khevin said, "I have no time now, no time for anyone. I’m open-minded but want someone caring."
Cathy said, "I don’t have one either. I want to focus on selling and work first. I want to succeed before considering dating."
Dr. Sunil said, "If you ask me, if they have a partner, I hope they are good to their teachers, secondly good to their parents, and third good to society. I don't care about status or ethnicity."
Recently, news says Cathy will enter Miss Universe Thailand?
Cathy said, "Next year I want to compete in the Road to Miss Universe."
