Surviving a city on ₹13,690

Surviving a city on ₹13,690

Outside a building that looks like a concrete cube, rows of buses wait to ferry workers home. The bell rings. Hundreds in sand-coloured uniforms stream out. Food vendors make their way through the queues, stationing their stalls in the gaps between the buses. Surabhi (name changed to protect identity) walks out slowly with a group of friends, shoulders drooping after her 16-hour shift. One of the women points towards an ice cream stall and gently pulls at Surabhi’s sleeve, asking if they should each get a cone. Surabhi shakes her head. “Rehne do; ₹80 ka ek hai (Let it be; one costs ₹80),” she says. She has worked overtime in the multinational corporation that operates within the concrete cube, its periphery guarded by other workers and barbed wire that runs across high walls. She has had to do the extra hours – 8 hours is a regular shift – to survive in the city. Over a month ago, thousands of workers from various private companies in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) of Gautam Buddha Nagar district, Uttar Pradesh, took to the streets to demand better working …

‘For 10 years I thought I was unlucky, cried on roads’: Nawazuddin Siddiqui recalls surviving on Parle-G | Bollywood News

4 min readNew DelhiMay 2, 2026 05:33 PM IST For Nawazuddin Siddiqui, the journey to becoming one of India’s most celebrated performers was anything but easy. He came to Mumbai with just Rs 2,500 in his pocket, took up a job as a watchman to survive, and immersed himself in theatre to hone his craft. Years of rejection, odd jobs and relentless struggle followed before he finally found his footing. It was Gangs of Wasseypur that ultimately gave him the recognition and identity he had long been fighting for. ‘I thought I was unlucky’ Now, in a conversation with Radio Nasha, the actor has opened up about the emotional toll of those years. He said, “In the beginning, you have a lot of confidence and passion. But gradually, after facing repeated struggles, your confidence starts to fade. You begin to doubt yourself, whether what you learned was wrong, which is why you’re not getting work.” “I have seen that mental state where I started doubting myself, felt unfit. It feels like bad luck has struck …
