Till 2014, no one knew his name, but something happened that year that he participated in the marathon race, won and everyone came to know him. Actually, Lata's husband became very ill that year.

'When I heard that the winner will get five thousand, I thought that if I win, I will be able to get my husband treated. So I decided to run. I didn't know what running was, but I wanted to finish the race first. I was away from the finish line when everyone started clapping. Then I thought that I can win this. I will get five thousand rupees now. '
