Divya Prem Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Khanani actor K.K. Goswami opens up about his early struggles: There were times when I would eat only once in four days
Some journeys are not just about reaching success they are about turning pain into power. Behind the smiles we see on screen are stories of struggle, strength, and silent determination. One such inspiring journey is that of veteran actor K.K. Goswami, who is now winning hearts as Khamba in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani.
Sharing his inspiring story, K.K. Goswami says, “People used to taunt me and even my family a lot. They would often make comments about my height. But honestly, people will always find something to say about everyone, no matter how a person looks. At that time, I didn’t let it affect me negatively. In fact, I believe that if they hadn’t teased me or tried to scare me by saying things like, “You won’t be able to do anything in life” or “Your height is too short,” I might not have pushed myself this hard. The way they laughed, the expressions on their faces it all became my strength. It motivated me to work harder and prove myself.”
He further added, “During my initial days of struggle in Mumbai, life was extremely difficult. There were times when I would eat only once in four days, and sometimes even after 7–8 days. I survived by drinking water and going to sleep. Many people offered me food, but I was very self-respecting. I would say, “No, I’ve already eaten,” and walk away, even if I hadn’t. In the beginning, there was hardly any work for people with shorter height. Opportunities were very few. But with hard work, patience, and determination, things slowly changed. Today, I have over 25 years of experience in the TV industry and am now playing the role of Khamba in Divya Prem: Pyaar Aur Rahasya Ki Kahani.”
