"I come from Surajpur, a valley in Himachal Pradesh near Manali that is named after my great grandfather Sarju Singh Ranaut. He was a minister for 15 yearsâ€¦I come from a big family not in terms of money, but reputation and grew up in a protective mountain environmentâ€¦My father slapped me for the first time at 15 and I told him, â€˜If you slap me I will slap you backâ€™. I felt raising your hand on anybody is inappropriate and always had a high regard for my self. My dad asked me to leave the house and I did so without a single penny in my pocket."
