Sushil
Kumar’s
win
on
the
fifth
season
of
the
popular
game
show
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
was
one
of
the
most
iconic
moments
in
the
history
of
Indian
television.
However,
Sushil
who
took
home
a
cash
prize
of
Rs
5
Crore,
recently
penned
a
heartfelt
note
on
his
social
media
account.
He
stated
that
his
life
post
the
KBC
win
hasn’t
been
rosy
and
has
been
full
of
trials
and
tribulations.
In
his
detailed
Facebook
post,
Kumar
opened
up
about
going
through
an
identity
crisis
and
ending
up
getting
addicted
to
alcohol
and
smoking
whilst
making
a
series
of
really
bad
financial
decisions.
He
also
shed
light
on
how
his
overnight
fame
resulted
in
relationships
within
his
family
getting
ruined.
Sushil
titled
his
post
as
'The
worst
phase
of
my
life
after
winning
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati'
and
wrote,
"2015-2016
was
the
most
challenging
time
of
my
life.
I
didn't
know
what
to
do.
I
was
a
local
celebrity
and
would
attend
programmes
for
10
or
sometimes
even
15
days
a
month
somewhere
or
the
other
in
Bihar.
I
was
drifting
away
from
studies.”
(sic)
He
went
on
to
add,
"After
KBC,
I
became
a
philanthropist,
who
was
addicted
to
'secret
donations'
and
would
attend
about
50
thousand
events
in
a
month.
Due
to
this,
a
lot
of
times,
people
cheated
on
me,
which
I
got
to
know
only
later
after
the
donations
were
made.
Due
to
this,
my
relationship
with
my
wife
was
slowly
worsening.
She
would
often
say
that
I
didn't
know
how
to
differentiate
between
the
right
and
wrong
people
and
that
I
wasn't
concerned
about
the
future.
We
would
often
fight
over
this."
He
also
spoke
about
becoming
obsessed
with
movies
and
how
he
would
spend
hours
on
his
laptop
watching
award-winning
films
and
how
it
inspired
him
to
become
a
filmmaker.
Kumar
then
decided
to
head
to
Mumbai
to
pursue
his
filmmaking
dream
but
ended
up
working
in
TV
soaps
instead.
Speaking
about
his
time
in
Mumbai,
Sushil
shared,
“Since
I
was
staying
all
by
myself,
here,
I
got
the
opportunity
to
look
at
myself
objectively.
And
I
realised
a
lot
of
things
like,
I
am
not
someone
who
has
come
to
Mumbai
to
become
a
director,
rather,
I
am
an
escaper,
who
runs
away
from
the
truth.
Real
happiness
lies
in
doing
the
work
of
your
choice.
One
can
never
calm
certain
emotions
like
arrogance.
It
is
a
thousand
times
better
to
be
a
good
person
than
just
being
a
'big
celebrity.'”
After
going
through
everything,
Sushil
Kumar
then
returned
home
and
became
a
teacher.
He
worked
towards
getting
rid
of
his
drinking
habit
in
2016
and
added
that
he
hasn’t
smoked
a
cigarette
since
last
year.
