Shri Thanedar: “I worked as a janitor when I was 14 years old.”

“So the, the bathroom, the, the toilet was like back outhouse, so you got to walk 100ft to get to the toilet, which has no running water, no electricity. And I worked as a janitor when I was 14 years old. Okay. Cleaning offices, cleaning toilets, get a little bit of money. Gave that money to my mother so she could run the household when my father lost his job. Wow.” (03:36–03:40)
