While talking to a news channel earlier Jahangir explained about challenges in his life which have kept piling up and due to his sickness, he is unable to get any kind of employment. Most of the money he had was spent on medical bills, after he lost partial function of his body to paralysis almost three years ago. Though some government officials had then stepped up to help him in his treatment but that hasn’t been sufficient enough.
