Born into a poor family, Suryakant Sarang Siddharth grows up with little in the way of comforts. His health keeps him away from school, forcing him to spend time at home where his elder brother—Chandrakant Anup Soni—introduces him to the board and the simple joy of Carrom. A young talent emerges as he wins the Junior Carrom Championship at the age of 12, a bright spark that promises possibility, even if life remains hard. Yet adolescence brings distractions, and his passion for the sport wanes as he daydreams about something bigger.
