Chand served for a franchise named Goli Vada Pav No.1. But due to lack of business during the pandemic situation, employees including him, have been let go. Chand, however, has hopes as they might call him back as normalcy returns.

“They (Goli Vada Pav No 1, Chand’s employers) lost business after the lockdown and let go of a lot of staff. I too was asked to leave; they said they would hire me back when things improve,” Chand was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times on Wednesday.

Chand was also invited to the commentary box by cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar in 1999. It is during that incident when he achieved national recognition.
