There are two areas in that village — one for the upper castes and one for the lower castes. The area where the Dalits live is separate from the village. Once, when I went to the village with my father, I was 12 years old and ate at a hotel, we had to wash our own plates and also pay for the food. There is still a temple where we are not allowed to go in my village,” he said.Vinod also spoke about growing up in extreme poverty. The actor added that while most people become happy when festivals arrive, he and his family would cry because they could not celebrate them the way everyone else did. “I have often seen my parents cry. When festivals came, I would wonder why they were coming at all—why Diwali was coming. Festivals made us cry more because we could never celebrate them like others. Our condition was very bad. If someone gave us something, only then could we celebrate—that was our reality,” he added.The actor revealed that he did many odd jobs while struggling as an actor, including that of a watchman, which left blisters on his feet. Vinod said the experience taught him society judges a person by their work, adding how ‘the bigger the work, the more respect they get’ is true for most people.Vinod Suryavanshi’s acting journeyVinod began his acting journey with small roles in films like Pari and Satyameva Jayate.
