“Bhaut baar sari raat padai karta tha phir subah aankhein dard karti thi” (At times, I studied all night, which used to cause pain in my eyes in the morning),” Kumar recollected.
While sharing about how he decided to pursue a medical profession, Kumar said his curiosity for medicines and how people get treated attracted him towards this exam and field of profession.
“Dawai dekh kar interest aya, log theek kaise hote hai, ye samjhna tha isliye Biology liya” (My interest was sparked by seeing medicines, and I wanted to know how people are cured, thereby choosing Biology),” he added while talking about his interest in the medical field, further adding, “Selling samosas won’t define my future.”
Kumar has been studying at Physics Wallah since 11th standard, observing his struggles, Alakh Pandey offered him a scholarship of ₹6 lakh and promised to pay the tuition fees of medical college.
