I have seen poverty. I have worked in small shops, used to make tea, I have worked in several factories, I used to make footwear. I sold vegetables. The rich don&#8217;t have to lie, but being poor we often have to lie when money lenders ask for money.

My mic fell off. It was very humiliating. I wanted to cry but my tears weren&#8217;t coming out.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">After the incident, Sudesh Lehri vowed never to perform at weddings ever again.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;I started questioning everything <em>ki kya kar rahe hai<\/em>.
