In the year 1972, his elder brother Ratan got married in Bihar. She received Rs 5000 as a wedding gift, with which she bought 18 pieces of Chandauri sarees in Jaipur and took them to Patna. There, when he showed the sample to the people, people liked it very much. He started the work of selling sarees from Jaipur to Patna.
