Former Indian footballer becomes food delivery agent to support family

Kolkata-based Poulami Adhikari, a footballer who represented India at the international level, is now working as a food delivery agent to make money.

"In 2012, I played for the U-16 Women's team. See, I did never want my football career to get finished, but due to financial conditions, I had to take up this delivery job. To buy a shoe worth Rs 500, I had to ask my father. He would definitely arrange the money, but I know it would cost him a lot. He did whatever he could but to help my family and my career in football, but then I decided to become a delivery agent to support my family," Poulami said in an interview.
