According to the Brut India video, Dagar had to convince an entire town that busking is not the same as begging. He eventually had to leave home at 20, to continue performing on the streets in and around Delhi.

In a similar incident, on December 28, Mahindra offered a quadruple amputee a job after watching a viral video of the man driving a modified vehicle in Delhi.
