In the video, Abhishek is seen speaking in Hindi, which when translated into English reads, “Right now, I am holding a US visa. I never imagined that God would plan such a life for me. I come from a small village in Bareilly. My father worked tirelessly day and night just to run the household, and my mother gave tuition lessons to support us. Getting a US visa is such a happy moment. When someone rises from such humble beginnings and achieves something like this, it feels truly great both for me and for my parents. This is an unexpected and beautiful part of my life. For many people, it may seem like a normal thing. But for us, and for many people like me, getting a US visa, a Canada visa, or even travelling to these countries is a very big achievement. Thank you, God, for everything you have given me. I am deeply grateful for all of it. And to everyone watching this, your time will come too just be patient.”
