From selling his trophy for Rs 400 to feed his family to owning a luxurious 4-BHK home; A look at Sudesh Lehri’s inspiring journey

He started working with his father and learnt to make gold. However, his father would earn only around Rs 100-200 and spend it on his drinking habits. In an old podcast interview with Maniesh Paul, Sudesh Lehri spoke about the struggles he faced during his childhood and recalled the odd jobs he had to take on due to his poor background. He revealed, “There was no opportunity to study. Since childhood, I’ve done small jobs. I’ve worked in factories and at tea stalls. I used to make tea, but we couldn’t afford tea at home. So, when I’d carry 5-6 cups in one hand and a kettle in the other, walking barefoot to the factory to deliver the tea, I’d sneak into a corner, have a cup myself, wash the glass, and then continue. That was our situation.” (Photo: Instagram)
