Early Life
When the two brothers were still very young, their father had passed away leaving their mother to raise them. With the main person who was providing for the family gone, this created a huge challenge for the brothers to make ends meet. The brothers would sell milk door to door by picking up eight bottles of milk by catching a train.
Sunil and Harshad had to do many other odd jobs as well in those early years when other children are busy playing. Later on, the brothers moved to the U.S. with their mother in search of a better life.
