Story

A story that began in the soil

Born on 8 February 1989 into an ordinary farming, labouring family in Ladrawan (Jhajjar). After his mother passed away when he was 7, he took the weight of responsibility on his shoulders, and at fourteen he was unloading gravel from trucks with his father for ₹75 a day.

In 2012 it began with carrying leftover wedding food to hungry children. In 2016 he went live on social media to ask for help. People taunted him, but with every video a daughter was married and a sister’s bhaat arrived.
