In a conversation with Humans of Bombay, the 76-year-old said that it was the death of his wife Manjeet in 1999 that led him on this path of self-care.
I was depressed for years. Our business dissolved. I became a couch potato.
However, he later realized that his wife would have been disheartened to see him quit.
So, I decided to lift myself up in my 60s and train harder to lift myself again. Today I run a successful business. And I’m fitter than I ever was! I feel my wife’s spirit and support in everything I do.
With over 34,473 likes and hundreds of heartwarming comments, the clip has touched thousands of hearts.
With 71K followers on Instagram, he follows a strict vegan diet. From lifting weights to using monkey bars, he performs a variety of exercises.
His bio reiterates his fitness mantra: age is no excuse for fitness.
