ISSUE 03 | MARCH 2020 TURNING POINTS IN LIFE The most significant turning point in my life has definitely been the car accident, which I went through when I was going to my dental college in the cab, which was fatal because of the head-on collision with the truck. Few people lost their lives, but somehow I survived with significant injuries. I went through three major surgeries, which brought me a 50% movement in my right hand, though I was told by the surgeon that I won't be able to get 100% movement in my entire life. BIKERS CLUB ® MAGAZINE | PAGE 10 Today even with the 50% movement, I am racing bikes, practicing as a dentist, and as my profession and passion, both require a right hand as the most crucial functioning hand. I have, by God's grace to a large extent, mastered both this passion. So that has definitely been my turning point, and I understood and learned that life is short and unpredictable; one has to live each day fullest. The accident and the experience changed my life completely to which I started looking for a passion that I found when I went to Buddh International Circuit, and I started riding bikes.

He used to participate in the car rallies like Raid da Himalayan, and Rajasthan rallies. I think my racing genes came into me through my father. My mother is an Anglo-Indian and is a housewife. We have been brought up as strong with high strength and principles, all thanks to our mother. I have a younger sister who's a trained commercial pilot and a professional model and is also living her life in her terms.
