That one match made him hooked on wrestling, and he hasn't let go of it ever since. Many people tried to persuade him to look for other job opportunities in bigger cities since all of his neighbours were getting pretty rich by doing construction jobs. Meanwhile, he, despite passing the first level of the literacy test—which certified him as capable of reading and writing the Bharati language at a basic level—was spending most of his time in a wrestling ring while doing some menial jobs on the side to maintain his life.
It was not like Maharana Pratap wasn't interested in making money and becoming richer. No, it was the exact opposite. Maharana Pratap really wanted to make a lot of money and, in one step, reach the top. But unfortunately, he was too demanding, and he knew that normal construction jobs or the regular jobs he could get with his first-level literacy degree wouldn't take him far. Instead, they would imprison him within their system like a quagmire.
