Actor Rajiv Thakur says he grew up in poverty and describes his childhood home as having conditions that made it feel degrading, saying, “Home felt like a public toilet.” In remarks reported by NDTV, Thakur also reflects on how discussing these experiences now could be questioned, adding that if he tells people about it today, it “may sound made up because there's no one to verify it.”

The account centers on his personal recollection of difficult living circumstances while growing up. Thakur does not provide additional public evidence or external verification in the reported statements, and the comments are presented as his own recollections rather than documented claims. The reporting focuses on his emotional reaction when recalling these hardships and the concern that people might doubt the authenticity of his story due to the lack of corroboration.
