Suryavanshi shared a poignant memory from his childhood, detailing an incident where he had to wash his own plates after dining out with his father, highlighting the humiliation faced by lower castes. Additionally, he discussed the challenges he encountered while pursuing a career in acting, noting that he was often rejected for roles due to his dark complexion.
