Rajesh Kumar was in Rs 2 cr debt after quitting acting upon Sadhguru’s advice: ‘Not failure’

In 2017, actor Rajesh Kumar quit acting and moved to farming in his hometown Gaya, Bihar. Inspired by spiritual leader Sadhguru's teachings, he faced five years of challenges, including the Covid pandemic, which left him with a debt of Rs 2 crore. Despite numerous setbacks, including flooding and the disappearance of the water table, Rajesh remained calm and resilient.

He credits spirituality for helping him stay positive and never succumbing to depression, anxiety, or anger. Through his journey, Rajesh eventually paid off most of his debt, leaving only 10-15% remaining today.
