great talent, india should have supported him

[@moderngames3837]

He should be offered a government job atleast.

[@arjuns1599]

No bro, our government only support cricket.

[@pradeepeasosamuel8986]

Hats off to Sharath and I salute his mother for the support and strength

[@ChaiwithlakshmiIn]

Hey Agni! I'm proud of Sarath too. Nothing wrong at all in driving a taxi. Nowhere in this webisode do we put down this profession. We just try to bring to light the fact that he has received little support. Imagine waking up at 5am, training for a few hours, putting in a 10-hour shift at work, then coming back to either train or do stuff to do with professional racing. It is extremely demanding! The financial pressures on Sarath are rather high. THis is what we were trying to communicate. :)

[@motosoul]

same goes with rajini krishnan. I wish indians support other sports except just cricket. Wish this video changes our mindset. support any person who is good at something!

[@deepakna204]

Thanks for sharing this.... Girt, Determination, will power, will to succeed .. amazing .. Never knew someone from India reached to that position WOW.. Respect I am sorry for the kid he was born in this country :-( I just could not hold back my tears when he said "My biggest dream is become very good rider in the world for my INDIA" so much passion so much pride....

[@rsrahulsutar1]

You will rise sarath.. God is with you

[@dineshsoni1240]

Thanks for bringing such talent on the show!

[@anuroopbs]

a very genuine interview.PROUD OF U SARATH,n good to see the host getting emotional over it

[@geaarmotars7195]

Feel to hear that He is 1st one from India... even being the biggest automotive industry &market in world.. Something that we need to go beyond ... & make MOTORSPORTS ♡.. As other games in our country like cricket etc... Have a great time & good luck.. bro ♡♡♡

[@joelsankeerth]

Good Job Rebecca ! for getting a amazing story like this .. You made my day with this story . Sharath - Hats off.

[@mmahmadkhan4046]

When would we Bikers see that very day when Racing becomes an integral part of Indian Sports??? Any takers??? And yeah, thanks Lakshmi for such a wonderful rendezvous with the boy... Cheers... Ahmad...

[@debutpayum4146]

Racing in motogp isnt just a small thing, every other sport like Olympic to those player they are given so much respect n also compensation and called on the tv channels, but no support for a rider like this, the govt. Should look into this matter and help, n also to all the rider in india who say they love racing must support him and publicize him, such a talent cant be ignored. I have a lot of respect for you brother, a big fan of yours.

[@ssweetbro]

This is a great story! Where is he now? Is he still racing? Is there any way to help him? I would like to help in any way that I can.

[@ChaiwithlakshmiIn]

josh merrill Yes, he still does race. And has found a bit more support, although I am not sure how much more.

[@harshal2523]

@@ChaiwithlakshmiIn @Josh Merrill find him on Instagram

[@rganesh1195]

Guys plz share this video on all the various platforms like fb insta... We need to support our own..

[@TheAditya404]

Yes! You are a hero.

[@L4INDIA]

Everyone who loves motorbikes or racing should promote this video ! India lacks far behind in motorsports currently and Young talents like these need massive recognition , make people know this dude. I believe one day a rider will surely represent us in the MotoGP!

[@Nagraj_h_rao]

Truly awesome Lakshmi... Bless you for bringing him to light.. :)

[@irfanqadri9000]

He should try to get into Mahindra Moto3, they will help him. Thank you Lakshmi mam for making and uploading this video. I will definitely share this on FB.

[@deepnx]

I'm a shortfilm maker ... and my friend just showed me this video .. we are bike riders of mumbai .. and i was gonna make a film on Bike Racing in india after few months ,,, this guy is truly inspirational ... i hope it creates a small spark in increasing the popularity of this sport :)

[@emailbubu]

[@blessing9884]

It inspires me nothing can stop you.... Good luck sarath

[@santhoshktm]

Really proud of you...

[@mmahmadkhan4046]

Stories like these inspire and stories like these wrench the heart too... With all due respect the Kid has raw talent and if groomed under proper tutelage he'd turn out to be the finest India can produce - given the conditions that he's grown as a Rider...

[@syedfahim6889]

Don't let ur dedication and talent down. God bless u bro.

[@rahulkumargiri8864]

[@rohitkarmakar1869]

i m loving ur episodes nw :D

[@IvoRadev]

I know it's an old video, but if he's still racing and has no team sponsors, maybe crowd funding could work for him?

[@sathishkv5531]

Hats Off Sharath. Gretest Indian . Greatest Tamilan also.. State Gov of TN and Central Gov in 2012 Congress have to take blame on this. They cant make any sports men in india. But already a boy of 20 years old shined himself and went for Italian Race , got 3rd Prize too. TN state gov earning 30K crores from TASMAC ( Gov Wine shop) at least they have to spend something for him to reach international Race once Again. Thata why everybody going US. UK for job. They believe Indians , But India never believe Indians. Shame on Jayalalitha and Manmohan Sing..

[@akashkmr8669]

!! INSPIRING !!

[@ganismith3695]

Love you man😘😘

[@thestoryteller9247]

really its awesome too see a Indian racer in motogp.

[@THEROCK-rh6my]

No he is not MotoGP racer he is Moto 2 racer

[@vandelay.costanza]

I really hope he makes it to Moto 3 and ride alongside the likes of Jack Miller .

[@fearlessfreaks2025]

Congratulations brother

[@anhdung6797]

He is a Hero❤️

[@Yousuf_98]

Our indian people know only the Rossi etc turn around the world we have a roosi in India

[@vijaystan936]

This is Inbuilt talent which rich people’s kids seek to learn spending huge stacks of money 👍🇮🇳

[@theholycowwhodoesntgiveash1813]

proud of you boy !

[@rahulludhani]

what is the name of your show's intro music ?

[@felakawilam5747]

Seen this video just now, what is his situation now, any updates

[@abinashpnd0]

whats the update on his racing career..?

[@syedfazil4780]

I am just searching the name of sharath, I see the video mentioned taxi driver, nowhere his name mentioned in the title and the description, so sad 😔

[@DHANUBELCHADA]

I'll be the next Moto gp racer representing India

[@nkarunakar8314]

Thami good boy god bless you boy

[@AratisLife]

Hi Lakshmi can you tell me where is he from? Mumbai ? I am a Motovlogger , I would like to meet him

[@ChaiwithlakshmiIn]

Chennai. :)

[@AratisLife]

ok thanks :)

[@velss2723]

He is from Tamil Nadu chennai

[@Oktolibre]

Is he still in the race?

[@rahuldrossi]

he is hero..just nothing to say..

[@arunprasathreddy]

Its a matter of time... well said..

[@sathishkv5531]

At least One Arjuna Award for sharath with One Gov Job for his future . No. giving Kel Rathna Award to Saniya Mirza, who married Pakistani . Shame on Gov of TN and Gov Of India. If sharath is hot star player like Sania and Sayna , Defiantly Gov will give Arjuna Award. He is boy only , so he will not expect anything from Gov. Sorry for my harsh words. But its true...

[@akshay9161]

❤️❤️

[@Knockthefout]

Yea

[@dhruvilkoshti]

i also want to be a part of ten 10 team and India would like to feel proud..

[@danishsawant7154]

He's not in MotoGP, not a MotoGP racer, but yes a professional motorcycle racer, raced in international events, but not MotoGP, Civ is a different class

[@REALPISTONHEARTED]

I thought Laxmi will marry him at the end :P just kidding :) amazing video ..... for a person like me who is die hard fan of MotoGP since childhood this just is an inspiring video :)

[@senatla91]

Well done champ

[@shyamprasad9760]

Iam also intrested in racing that to in motogp..plzz some one suggest how can i join as a rider...in motogp please i request you laxmi mam

[@mmahmadkhan4046]

Running in local circuits is tough enough and running oneself on an International podium is a different league altogether... A league which only the extraordinary out of the extraordinary can achieve... Hats off to the boy and such a shame that we as a nation are yet to accept Moto-Racing as a Sport and not an indulgence...

[@Dinesh-qv2gt]

Which state are you brother

[@mmahmadkhan4046]

Sarath deserves better... Driving Taxi is not a low job per se (but given the mentality we've nurtured - considering work to be low or high grade depending on the kind of job one is into) but the Racer in him needs to be trained and explained the finer nuances of the game and the mechanism of the machine that he is to vroom on other podiums of repute...

[@sajib963]

it is bad luck that i born in kolkata

[@velss2723]

sajib biswas , bro come to tamilnadu , there are more racing academy in coimbatore ,Chennai.

[@gokusaiyan6809]

Bad luck I was born in India. The People simply aren't aware.

[@Haunteddorm27]

[@DIBYO3]

You sound more like a chapri

[@650hpreventon]

Let me make the first Chinese racing in moto 3 at least!

[@RahulSharma-zo9ux]

Nice

[@Brooo-d4r]

HATS OFF SARATH

[@ftw9499]

[@rganesh1195]

I guess people like john abraham should spport this guy considering his love for racing too

[@cocomelonTreeLearnwithfun]

God bless U $$$$$$$$$

[@agnisharman]

hey Lakshmi... What is wrong in driving a Taxi? It is a good profession for someone who is not even a graduate. Of course i am saddened by the fact that Sarath has not been properly sponsored and helped to take our country's name to places. i am proud and extremely thankful to Sarath for letting know this blessed world that driving a taxi is a decent profession too... I am a Cabbie too!!!

[@aronvincent1744]

🏁🏁🏁JESUS blessed motorsports... MOTO-GP Riderz met pope recently...those videos you can seek out from youtube.. In GOD we Trust

[@icecoldviv]

[@mihirraut7957]

[@Neophantom00]

A very excellent example of what corruption can do to talented people. Poor thing.

[@stormzylive9656]

That’s Moto3 not MotoGP

[@Revingsole125]

We can only celebrate cricket cups acquisition aye?? This is something really unfair that Indian cops and Indian administrative system is doing with motor sport.

[@akhilajith8056]
