00:10and because he is coming back after a very very huge injury like rapture petlar tendon
00:17and this is actually his second life and we never thought that he will come back and jump like this
00:24and I am also very happy to have become a double Conwell Games medalist in the long term man.
00:32So what actually when he got injured sir what was actually his mental health at that time
00:37and what was he thinking? I mean any major step he was thinking of taking or how do you calm
00:43him out?
00:44And the next day we flew to Mumbai to consult with Dr. Padivala sir
00:51and after consultation with Padivala son he went to Doha Aspita Hospital
00:59and he did his surgery there and he did his rehab in Inspirational Sports Bellary
