Here i am going to share a true story-
This is the story of my childhood friend. He belonged to a super rich family.
We both were studying in same school and were in same class.
As any other rich kid born with silver spoon; he was an average, mischievous student but very brave.
While in 10th Std (2010), he failed in Sanskrit and mathematics.
Soon after, in a few months he was caught red handed while copying in the supplementary exam and was handed over to the police.
His father was a well known influential guy and constructor by profession.
Police just ringed his father to inform about the incident and they released him.
Due to this incident his father got furious and frustrated as he got a call from police which hurt his self-esteem.
Unfortunately, he trashed his son mercilessly and threw him out of his house.
He yelled at him and said to look after his bread & butter and never ever return back.
Very next day, my friend rented a room with the help of his mother..
He got a job in a medical shop .
2nd day his boss asked him to wash his car.
Look at the irony, the medical shop was located in the main road and his dad saw that helplessly his son was washing someone else's car that too on a main road.
Dad approached him and said “Just leave now and go back home”. My friend obeyed to his dad and went back to his house. While he was waiting for his dad and in a hope to listen few good words, his misfortune had something else waiting for him.
As soon as his dad returned home he started beating him viciously and said “you're spoiling my reputation” .
With that incident he left that job..
Cleaner in one of the institution.
Just imagine millionaires son working as a cleaner .
His second job
There he used to sweep, mop floor, etc.
He worked there for 5 years for 5k/month (His initial salary was 3k).
In his salary he was looking after his bread & butter along with his house rent.
Never asked money from his parents. His boss used to misbehave and treated him like a maid.
My friend used to smile always in spite of all these things . He was very much interested in acting in films.
While working he was also giving audition for few TV serials and reality shows.
I also suggested few audition by seeing post on Facebook. In the meantime he was also trying to get into film industry.
After working for 5 years he demanded a salary hike.
His boss offered 7k as he knew about his family and he was sure that he would never argue or leave the institute.
But he left that job. He was already 22 and knew that he had to get a good job which will pay better salary so that he can make some savings in life.
He tried to convince his Dad many times but never worked out. He was so rude to him even after 3–4 years.
He searched for a job which would get him better pay. He was ready to do any kind of job.
After 1 month he started his job in some automobile oil agency which paid 9k/month.
Everyday, his duty was to load and unload the oil containers (200+litre/per can).
In few weeks, he was physically and mentally drained. He left this job after 2 months because of heavy work load.
People used him very badly because of his innocence.
The best part was whenever we go out for lunch or dinner he used to pay our bills, he never allowed any one of us to pay.
After all these incidents he had changed a lot. He was down to earth and he was a helping hand for me.
Trust me he had changed a lot from a super rich spoiled brat to a humble human being.
While searching for the new job, he gave few audition in Chennai and luckily got selected.
This was his and our dream moment. His first movie with a small role is now complete and will be released in July 2018.
He has also signed his second movie as a co-actor with an upcoming actor in Tamil Industry.
This makes me sooooo proud of him. He has gone through soo many ups and downs in life. When ever I think of him I get motivated..
“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”
Never lose hope in your life..
