Currently a contestant on Bigg Boss OTT 3, Sai has opened up about his challenging early days, revealing a side of him that resonates deeply with many.

In a recent episode of Bigg Boss OTT 3, Sai shared a poignant account of his struggles while talking to his friend Armaan Malik. His story sheds light on the dedication and hard work that have shaped his journey to success. Sai recounted, “I used to distribute pamphlets to people on the road in Hyderabad, just to earn Rs 100. I would wake up at 3:30 or 4:30 in the morning. First, I would go to the pamphlet distribution center, collect the pamphlets, and then either have someone help me or distribute them myself. After that, I would head to the park on the road around 6:00 a.m., where people would come to walk. I would distribute flyers there until about 8:00 or 9:00 a.m. Then, I would return home. Many of the pamphlets were simply taken and immediately discarded. People often didn't even look at them; they would just take them and throw them away."

He adds, "After that, I worked at a local restaurant in Himayatnagar as both a cashier and a waiter. On some days, I would work as a cashier, and on other days, I would work as a waiter."

Sai's recollections paint a vivid 
picture of the tenacity he demonstrated during those formative years. His early morning routines and the relentless effort to earn a modest sum of money reflect a spirit of determination and resilience. Despite the many challenges and the often indifferent reception of his work, Sai continued to press forward, driven by his passion and commitment.
