Subrata Roy lived a luxury life. He had a successful business worth billions. There were lakhs of employees and crores of customers. People all over the world admired his courage and passion. Yet one of his dreams could not be fulfilled, even though he kept trying to fulfill it till the last moment.
About Rs 3 crore countrymen invested in Subrata Roy’s Sahara India Pariwar, but due to some reasons it got caught in controversies. He had to go to jail. Although he came out of jail on parole, but due to the company incurring losses he was not able to pay the people’s money and the matter went to Patna High Court.
When this matter reached the Supreme Court, the Sahara chief got relief, but the Supreme Court ordered to give refund of 3 crore people. He kept trying to give refund till his last breath. Kept trying to extricate himself from controversies and prove himself right. Due to this, he stayed away from his family, but his dream remained unfulfilled.
