Hailing from Punjab, 28-year-old Anand Arnold’s mission is not to let his disability define him or hold him back. Even after suffering from life threatening spinal cancer at the age of 15, he has not let go of his dreams. Even after he recovered, he was left paralyzed from neck down.

Despite being confined to his wheelchair, he started working out. Already weakened by his treatment, his only support was an undying spirit of not giving up so easily. Fast forward a couple of years, and according to IndiaTimes, today his tally consists of 3 Mr India titles, 12 Mr Punjab titles and 27 other major titles.
