A journey from hardship to humour

Karimnagar: Sadaiah’s life is a testament to resilience, talent, and determination. Today, he is spreading laughter through his short films, but his path was not without struggles. Born in Kanagarti village, Odela mandal, Peddapalli district, Sadaiah lost his father, Bhumaiah, at a young age while studying in the eighth grade. Raised by his mother, Nambamma, Sadaiah grew up under difficult circumstances. To make ends meet, he worked menial jobs, earning Rs 20 a day to cover his exam fees. Despite his hardships, he was determined to complete his education.

Sadaiah’s interest in performing arts developed early, and by the age of nine, he had already gained local recognition by performing Burrakatha, a traditional form of storytelling. His talent shone through at school events and anniversaries, giving him a platform to showcase his skills. Later, as a college student, he continued to face financial difficulties but persevered with his studies, eventually securing a government job as a teacher. He now works in Ramadugu mandal.
