In his post, Jena shared two contrasting images: one of his childhood home in Rourkela, a small and dilapidated structure where he spent his formative years, and another of his present-day residence—a sprawling luxury mansion in Dubai, flanked by a Porsche Taycan and a G Wagon Brabus 800.

Captioning the images, Jena wrote, “This was my home back then—a small town in Odisha, Rourkela, where I was born, grew up, and studied till class 12 (1988-2006). Revisited in 2021 for the memories! Today, my home in Dubai tells the story of 17 years of relentless hard work, sleepless nights, and no shortcuts. Success takes time. What’s your excuse?”

Commenting on the post, a user wrote, “That's great brother… One needs courage to show his or her poor past, from where they came… Nowadays, people avoid revisiting their ancestral home back then which can be a century old where they or their parents and grandparents have lived life fully…Thank you”

Another added, “Success takes time, efforts, luck and help. You are what you are in dubai. The same effort will not yield same results in odisha.”

A third noted, “Not everyone can do it in 17 years apart from hard work . Luck plays a significant role”
