Popular comedian Sudesh Lehri, renowned for his exceptional comedic talent in shows like Comedy Circus and The Kapil Sharma Show, is currently seen in Laughter Chef. However, many may not know that he once had to sell his award for just ₹300 to feed his family. In an interview with The Times of India, Sudesh shared that during a tough financial period, he approached the event organizer to inquire about the award’s worth.
