Munawar Started Work At 8. Daily Wage: Rs 10.
The Take
Munawar Faruqui said he wanted to study. He started working at eight instead. His daily wage was Rs 10. School dropped him. Lock Upp crowned him. Bigg Boss 17 cast him. The child earned ten rupees per day. The man earned prime-time slots. Thirty-seven days in jail fell between those chapters. Nobody fixed the starting wage.
The Wire
Munawar Faruqui revealed he started working at age eight for Rs 10 a day and wanted to study but could not, per The Indian Express.
