Rahul said, ‘If Guruji had not come into my life in 2013, things would have been even more difficult for me. I had no understanding of parenting at all. My wife died suddenly. I became a single parent of an 11-12 year old child. That phase was very challenging.

I don’t like to blame people. I believe that you learn from experience. It’s not like I did so much for the industry and this happened to me. The industry has also given me a lot. Leaving the industry was my choice because my situation was like that. I have no regrets.
