The Guru sided with Vishal.
Vishal was the eldest of three siblings. Vishal’s father wanted his son not to live the life of a laborer or laborer like him, so he wanted to educate him and make him a great man. Due to financial constraints and lack of a good education system here, Vishal felt that he would not be able to fulfill his father’s dream, but he got the support of his Guru Gauri Shankar Prasad. He helped Vishal in his studies and also provided financial support. Gauri Shankar also paid Vishal’s fees.
Topped in Intermediate.
