Saroo Brierley (Sheru Munshi Khan) was born in Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh, India, on 22 May 1981. When Saroo was five years old, he became trapped on an empty train carriage after accidentally falling asleep waiting for his brother. While trapped, the train traveled 1,500km from his hometown, finally stopping in Kolkata.
His family was unaware that Saroo had boarded the train, and there were no clues to suggest that he traveled to Kolkata. Being only five years old, Saroo did not know how to get back to Khandwa and did not know enough about his hometown to explain to Kolkata police where his family was.
Now separated from his biological family and Kolkata police with no information to work with, Saroo was officially declared a lost child and placed in the Indian Society for Sponsorship and Adoption.
After several unsuccessful attempts to locate his family, Australian couple John and Sue Brierley adopted Saroo and raised him in Australia.
Saroo spent much of his adult life searching for his mother, and 25 years after being separated, he traveled to India to be reunited with her after locating his hometown using Google Earth.
Today, Saroo is still living in Australia and is a businessman, author, and philanthropist. His life was the subject of the Oscar-nominated film Lion.
