My all opinions about her will be positive. I really don’t care what had happened to her, all I want is that she has a good nature.

Yes, I will definitely help her. I actually helped a girl when I was in BA-2^nd year, she was a student of French and she was Mexican. As she was a foreigner, so her clothing was also different from Indian girls. I was getting late for my class and I was going up the stairs to attend my class and she was coming down, behind her were four boys, all of a sudden she slipped from the stairs. Those boys instead of helping her, they were laughing at her and then they were passing absurd comments. I helped her from that situation and after that we became friends.

No, I am not from Lucknow. I was born in Bengal. When I was in class 3^rd my father was transferred in Amethi at first and then Lucknow, from then on I live here.

I completed my graduation from Lucknow University. While completing my graduation I was thinking to study professional course which has some great value, so that is why I opted for MA-JMC.

Q. What you wanted to become in your life?

Sports Journalist. Because I am a sports person.

It was about 2009, I went to someone’s marriage party with my family and at that time I was skinny. My father’s friend wanted to see both of his sons, my father called us and introduced me and my brother Yatharth to him. That uncle saw me and laughed at me and then he said to my father that why didn’t you give him something to eat. That incident hurt me straight to my heart and then I promised myself to be a healthy person.

Q. Your most memorable moment.

In the beginning, before becoming a champion of power-lifting, when I went for the state-trial, I saw there were many body-builders standing in the queue, as I was not fully prepared and watching other competitors only made me anxious and embarrassed both at the same time and in my mind I was thinking that I won’t be selected. But luck played its part and I got selected in Top 10.

I played two times under-19 cricket for Uttar Pradesh. Two times power-lifting championship and three times power-lifting championship National level for Lucknow University, securing second position continuously 3 years.

Being a fit person, we can do any work easily. I always want to see myself as a fit person. I can’t bear to see myself ugly. I placed a mirror of my size in my room. I never wanted to hear any bad comments regarding my health or physique.
