SUCCESS STORY
Dharmesh Yelande's success didn’t happen overnight. He went through a lot of hardships and struggles but his passion for dance didn’t let him give up so soon.
Dharmesh's family underwent a worsening financial crisis and his life turned upside down after the municipality demolished his father’s shop. His father then set up a tea stall to sustain the family, but it wasn’t enough. The meager income he earner was only about ’50-60 Rs’ a day, and with that income feeding, a family of four was impossible. The family found it very difficult to make ends meet. Despite this financial crisis, Dharmesh’s father let Dharmesh join a dance class to follow his dreams.
This was the little step towards his success story. He was never into academics and his grades dropped drastically and he quit college. Dharmesh then worked as a peon and at the same time taught dance to kids. He had to support his family, but he was passionate about following his dreams as well. He put in his fullest efforts and worked hard. Dancing his heart out was his way of relaxing and his dedication was aiding him in his hardships.
Then, Dharmesh shifted to Mumbai to pursue his dreams and participated in ‘Boogie Woogie’ and used the prize money he earned to pay off his father’s debt. Even though his mother would say ‘Job pe Dhyan do, Dance Se paise Nahi Ayenge’, to him ‘dance was like breathing’, something he could not give up. He later proved to people that he could mold out a successful career with his passion.
Following this Dharmesh Yelande participated in Dance India Dance and gained widespread popularity. Despite not being able to win, this platform was a major breakthrough in his career. He gained a lot of popularity and a fan base for himself and there was no turning back after this success.
