Beggar in Ajmer buys iPhone 16 Pro Max, sparks online debate
A beggar in Ajmer, Uttar Pradesh, has taken the internet by storm after purchasing an iPhone 16 Pro Max worth ₹1.7 lakh, entirely through alms. Identified as Sheikh, a physically disabled man, he shared his story in a viral video that has ignited discussions about ambition, effort, and unconventional methods of achieving material success.
