| More About Prashant Sawant |
Prashant grew up in the Dahisar suburb of Mumbai with two brothers. Subhash Sawant, his father, owned a machine-parts workshop. No one expected Prashant Sawant to do well in life and make a name for himself. Growing up in a 10 ft-by-10 ft room in a Dahisar chawl along with nine others in a joint family, career planning or guidance were concepts alien to Prashant and his two brothers.

His father Subhash thought his son would join his small, machine-parts workshop. Hence, enrolled him in the Industrial Training Institute (ITI) in Borivali. The ITI course made him disciplined and he passed with distinction.”
As he was pursuing the technical course, he joined a local gymnasium in Dahisar. As a child, he was fat and desperately wanted to look good.
