Slept On Streets In Canada And Worked At Gas Stations, Now Has Net Worth Of Rs 83 Crore | Guess The Singer

Before the sold-out shows, viral hits and an estimated net worth of Rs 83 crore, AP Dhillon was just a young man standing outside a hotel in a new country, holding cash that wasn’t enough. On the latest episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show Season 4, the 33-year-old singer opened up about the two nights he spent sleeping on the streets in Canada because he did not have a credit card. The revelation came during a conversation with Kapil Sharma, and it was one of the most raw moments of the episode. “The toughest moment for me…” When asked about the hardest phase of his time abroad, Dhillon did not hesitate. “The toughest moment for me was when I first landed in Canada. I had no place to stay. My dad gave me some money, but I was never born with a silver

spoon. So, I didn’t have a credit card at that time. I went to a hotel and said, ‘I’d like to stay here, and I had this much cash.’ They asked me for a credit card, and I asked ‘what’s that?’ They refused to give me a room. So, I stepped outside and slept in front of the hotel. I had severe jet lag. The agent who booked my flight had booked the one with 5 stopovers.” He revealed that this went on for two nights. “An Indian couple helped me” Help came unexpectedly. “The first night passed, the second night when I was on the streets, an Indian girl came to me and said I didn’t look homeless and asked, ‘Why are you sleeping outside?’ I told her I didn’t have a credit card, so they wouldn’t give me a room. She went to her boyfriend and asked him to give his credit card. He came to me and said, ‘Brother please don’t steal or break anything, or they’ll charge me.’ I said, ‘No chance, bro.’ That couple was from Calagry.” Long shifts, small room, big dream Life did not turn overnight. Dhillon shared how he worked long hours while studying. “I always kept working hard. When college began, and I started working, I slowly managed to get a credit card. I have worked at gas stations, convenience stores, and my last job was at Best Buy. I used to work for 10-12 hours and then go to college. I had to manage my rent, food, and everything else.” Music slowly took centre stage. In a rented space with a small garage, he built his own practice area. “The house I lived in had a small garage, big enough to park one car. I rented a room there. I saved some money, went to Home Depot, and made a 10-by-6 room with plywood and added a door. Slowly, I started buying equipments and learned the craft. I never gave up.” Today, AP Dhillon is known for tracks like “Brown Munde,” “Goat,” “Dil Nu,” “Afsos,” “Excuses,” “With You,” and “Insane.”
