He lives in Leebrad Street in Springfield with his wife Priyanka and daughter Elizabeth. After spending his childhood in Kathmandu, Nepal, he came to the U.S. 16 years ago. As his childhood passed in Nepal, he is quite famous in the Nepali community. Having won so many records, Ujjwal feels very proud himself because he had been blessed to do something for his country Nepal. Being an amateur player, he doesn’t earn his livelihood from games. However, for the sake of earning, he has never compromised on his passion for sports. As a result, today, he is one of those who have played a significant role in Nepal. Ujjwal Thakuri is proud of Nepal.
To earn these records, he has struggled persistently for years. Today, having won so many competitions, he wishes that his parents were with him today and could see his success. At the time of winning Guinness world record for the third time, he said emotionally, “At this time, I want to remember my parents. If they were in this world today, they would have been very proud of this record that I made today.”
