A Young Boy Discovering His Talent As A Gymnastic-Earning A Spot In Bollywood By His Talent

Bollywood industry is so fascinating that everyone wants to try their luck in it. People all over India come to Mumbai in the search of stardom as Mumbai is considered the main city to start a Bollywood career. Every actor has started their career here from big to small. But it is not easy to stand out among thousands of people. It requires exceptional talent and hard work that builds unique personalities among all those people who have a similar dream like you.

Today we have a story about such a person who raised from being an orphan to a well-known person in Bollywood. 

Background

He belongs to a small village “Antarigam” in the state of Orissa. He lived the life of an orphan even when he had his parents alive but they did not care about their children. He lived with his younger brother and he lived along with his 3 years old brother while he himself was only 9 years old. 
He used to work in a park and earned 400 per month from which he met the needs of their food which meant they could not even have 3 meals a day. After several years as his brother grew up, he moved to Surat, Gujarat in the hopes of earning more. At Surat, he learned embroidery and earned Rs. 1300 a month. He kept half money for himself and sent half to his brother. 


Moving to Mumbai

As Surat is close to Mumbai, someone suggested him to move there to earn more. So he moved to Mumbai in the search of a job but without proper education or any facility, he could only manage to wash cars at that time. He used to earn some money and kept supporting his brother throughout. He had made friends there. One of his friends was a driver and every Sunday they drove to the Juhu beach area which is a well-known place in Mumbai. There he saw some children practicing gymnastics and there he started practicing with them. 
Learning gymnastics
He developed an art that he never knew he had. He started to go to Juhu and practice gymnastics more frequently. He loved this new art and his flexibility was outstanding.

Getting a career opportunity

AS this boy, Vikram Swain used to practice at Juhu, he was once noticed by Tiger Shroff. Tiger started practicing gymnastics with this boy for his debut film. After a few days, Tiger offered him to become his personal trainer and he supported him financially to build a career out of his talent. Tiger introduced him to other actors and now he is a trainer to Suraj Pancholi, Sayesha  Sehgal (Dilip Kumar’s niece), and Athiya Shetty. He is a part of Tiger shroff's team and is traveling all over the world. He keeps supporting his brother who is doing an MBA now.
He has proved wrong who think that only having a silver spoon is the key to success. He has set an example that hard work always pays off and never to depend only on your luck but also on your hard work and will.
