    When it comes to bodybuilding and fitness sports, it’s all out of his passion. Rather, it’s a “passion driven in his blood”. His Dad is the first body builder; he grew up seeing lifting weights, so love with the iron is in his family hierarchy.

He has also held Silver Medal in Mr India – Classic Physique 2017 and Second runner up in Mr Asia 2017. This has given him the confidence he needed to be successful in all areas of his life including being a top athlete in the fitness industry, while quickly becoming a household name in fitness industry.
