Mohit Gujjar (11 times MR. India)

Q As you are such a big motivation for this huge crowd please tell us about your career and how it started and has been up till now.

So I was detected with bone cancer just above the knee area in 2010 Earlier I visited a doctor near Sonipat who suggested that I show it to a doctor in Rohtak where they took my sample After 15 days the result showed that I was detected with bone cancer and then they inserted a rod via operation 4 years later I again was detected with bone cancer but this time the doctor gave me an option either we can insert a rod which can again cause bone cancer which will further damage the liver or we can cut that leg off which they said is the better option So I proceeded with what they suggested which was cutting off my leg I woke a day later and the doctors gave me a supporter to walk which I refused as I didn’t want to feel as if I lost one of my legs; hence I started walking on my own by hoping and trying In 2016 I started training myself and I got to know about a bodybuilding competition and got inspired to take part in it. I participated and won the competition through which I gifted my parents on their birthday I even met Bollywood actor Sahil khan who gave me a lifetime sponsorship

Q. You must have faced a lot of problems initially so how did you overcome that?

I just had one aim I want to become something one day and break the stereotype among people that one cannot do anything in life if he/she is differently abled I just completely focused on my work on the initial days and my hard work paid off

Q. Who has motivated you the most throughout your journey?

My mother was the biggest motivator in my life especially when I lost my leg and everyone was asking me to leave bodybuilding, it was only she who stood up for me and told me that show them what you are in such a way that they won’t ever open their mouth to discourage you Motivation doesn’t come just because I said my story it comes with a lot of experiences and hustles one had to face throughout his life.

Q. Please, tell us something about Sahil khan and your tie-up with him

He is a very big brand in himself All this started when I was up for a competition in Ludhiana where his close friend Sahi Chauhan was present and was very impressed with my performance that he came up on the stage and said I will take you to Sahil khan When we met Sahil khan that’s when he said that if you want anything in life we will be there to support you On 9 Oct 2020, our CM of Haryana Manohar Lal khaddar tweeted about me

Q Recently I saw that you launched a brand called peanut butter.

Yes, I am the ambassador of that brand I always promote good products and use only the good ones I never recommend products that I haven’t used and cannot guarantee that

Q What are your plans?

I never think about my future, I only live in my present and move according to that, because if I think about my future I overthink and get stressed

Q. Can I know your day-to-day activities?

We have a diet with 6 meals in it the nutrition is Divine nutrition which is a brand of Sahil khan I have a great coach from Kalkaji who trains me with my diet.
