father assured him not to force for it and with this assurance, he taught Arun basics of stitching and embroidering.

 Bajaj’s

life was full of ups and downs. He was only 16 when he lost his father.

 With

the sudden demise of his father, he had no other option but to leave his studies and start tailoring at his shop.
