Aishwarya experienced the loss of her mother at the tender age of 9, followed by the passing of her father when she turned 14.

Sakshi Birje was a 7th grade student in Govt Kannada Higher Primary School, Vantamuri Colony, Belagavi when she was selected for RCF's talent nurturing program. Sakshi's father sells vegetables and fruits on a cart and her mother works as a housemaid. Their family of five, which included two younger siblings of Sakshi, lives in a small dwelling in a noisy, densely populated street of Ashraya Colony, Rukmini Nagar. Sakshi had the dream of becoming a doctor.
Waddar Chavani is an area in Belgaum where families of the Waddar Community (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waddar) have settled in small huts and houses. Shashikant Gadiwaddar's family is one such. Shashikant lost his father at a very young age. His mother made the ends meet by working as a cook in a small private mess. Shashikant lacked the fluency of Kannada language and communication skills, which made it hard for anyone to see the raw talent and zest for knowledge hidden in him.
