Pratik Gandhi’s ascent to fame wasn’t overnight and his journey defies the conventional Bollywood narrative. Before captivating audiences as Harshad Mehta in Scam 1992, he was an industrial engineer juggling a full-time job and late-night rehearsals. However, did you know the actor did odd jobs like cleaning water tanks to earn a living in Mumbai? He recently opened up about his struggling phase while appearing on Kapil Sharma’s show.

Pratik Gandhi on doing odd jobs

Pratik was a part of fourth episode of Kapil Sharma’s show along with Jaideep Ahlawat, Vijay Verma and Jitendra. The actors shared anecdote from their struggling days and how weird fan encounters bewildered them. When Kapil asked the actors about doing odd jobs for their living, the Dhoom Dhaam actor shared, "I`ve done many such odd jobs. When I was younger, I used to distribute gifts, help at events, and many more things. When I came to Mumbai, I decided to get into the water tanker cleaning business, and for that, I hired 2-3 people who would go and do the job. However, there were times they wouldn`t show up, and I would have to do it myself. We wouldn`t do it manually; we had a machine that helped us complete the task."
