Reality show star Rahul Mahajan has experienced many life trials despite his public image as a cheerful person. His life has been full of ups and downs. In his early years, he lost his father, Pramod Mahajan. Shortly after his father's death, he had to go to Tihad jail on charges of drug overdose.
He also faced difficulties in his personal relationships: his marriage broke up three times. He is now 51 years old and has no children.
During an interview on the podcast Subodhjit Ghosh, Rahul recalled his days in Tihad jail. He shared that after losing his father, he thought nothing worse could happen. However, just one month later, he found himself in Tihad jail, and then he realized that nature can give a person something even heavier.
Many events happened in his life in one year: he lost his father, got married, and then divorced, after which he went to Tihad jail. This entire difficult period lasted 365 days. Despite the hardships, he never harmed himself or attempted suicide.
Rahul said that he experienced a lot in prison, including lack of ventilation, but this did not cause him discomfort. He remembers being in prison with the terrorist Afzal Gur, who was 100 meters away from him, and wondered what he could do. He emphasized that the current situation cannot be considered the lowest point because below exists 'patala' (underworld), and his condition was like falling downwards.
He also noted that friends did not abandon him after his incarceration. Rahul reported that he engages in spiritual practices and tries to better understand himself. He stated that he does not allow other people's words to bother him, preferring to be occupied with himself, as no statements affect him.
