He used to work at a daily soap, but the owner fired him because he wasn’t doing his job properly. He then had to live with the groundskeeper of the Azad Maidan, where he sold pani-puri, in order to make some money.
Jwala Singh
The 12-year-old boy’s coach, father, and guardian, Jwala Singh, operated an academy in Santacruz where he got Jaiswal to practise.

Jwala Singh obtained a power of attorney and was appointed as his legal guardian.
