Following a bout of rheumatoid arthritis, Sangram was confined to a wheelchair but he never lost his determination to do well in wrestling. With sheer guts, he overcame his disease but he was confronted with financial constraints to pursue his wrestling dream. He overcame that as well and it is this battle that has helped him attain this pinnacle.

"There is a great amount of talent in India but it gets wasted mostly as we don¡¯t dream big. I want to set an example and make them dream. I am also planning to set up wrestling academies in every city where I will give training to the poor, free of cost," he said in a recent chat with Sportskeeda.
Sangram has already taken the right path on becoming a role model for aspiring youngsters. Recently, he rejected an offer by a soft drink company to be their brand ambassador as he believed that he would be giving out a wrong signal.
