When AP Dhillon used to sleep on the streets of Canada with only two suitcases
Previously, in a candid interaction with Bollywood Hungama, AP Dhillon opened up about some of the tough situations and challenges that he has faced in his career. He remembered a time when he visited Canada, and since he didn’t have any money or credit card to pay, he wasn’t granted accommodation by any hotel. At the end, he decided to sleep on the roads itself, over the two suitcases he carried with himself. Remembering how it was a stranger who had offered him help, AP Dhillon stated:
“I had two suitcases. I put them on the ground and tried to sleep on them. There was this brown girl, she came to me and said, ‘Yo, you don’t look like a homeless person? Why are you sleeping like this?’ I told her the story. Then she went to her boyfriend or fiance, I don’t remember, and said, ‘Yo, give this guy your credit card.’ And I remember that guy telling me, ‘Bro, please don’t steal anything, break anything’ (smiles). There are good people out there.”
