But i don't know if there was any difference between them (interested in and indulge in). |

There is a BIG difference between them. Look at these definitions/examples (courtesy of dictionary.cambridge.org)
| Quote: |
to indulge (in) to allow yourself or another person to have something enjoyable, especially more than is good for you
example We took a deliberate decision to indulge in a little nostalgia
to be interested (in) wanting to give your attention to something and discover more about it
example Yes, I'd be very interested in knowing more about the services your firm offers
