The economic slowdown triggered by the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent nationwide lockdown has led to thousands of people losing their jobs around the country. In fact, a report by CNBC TV18 showed that at least 86 per cent Indians fear that they will lose their jobs during the pandemic.
During this time , 26-year-old woman who lost her job in Hyderabad has been selling vegetables to make ends meet.
Unadadi Sharada from Hyderabad was working in an MNC when she lost her job during the Covid-19 crisis. According to a report by TOI, Sharada’s company could no longer pay her salary and they could find a project for her to work on either.
Instead of losing hope amid extreme financial crisis, Sharada did what she had to to support her family – she started selling vegetables at the local market. Now, she wakes up at 4 am every day, goes to the wholesale market to get vegetables, and then sells them at the market to make a living.
But Sharada said that there is no shame in selling vegetables, since this is an honest day’s work.
Sharada’s story soon went viral on social media, and reached actor Sonu Sood, who has been going out of his way to help migrant workers and anyone who needs it during the pandemic.
