Sharing the video, Manisha explained how she met with a car accident due to a drunk driver. Doctors at the hospital have suggested not to go back to racing. But with the help of her physiotherapist Dr Nilesh Makwana, Manisha recovered strength and was able to stand on her feet.
She added that yoga calmed her down, but after the accident, she lost all the strength to get back to racing, and then she met Akshay Kadam, a fitness coach and nutritionist.
Every day with small steps, she started her training to get back on track with Akshay Kadam.
“We started with bodyweight exercises, then 1kg was for days. Each day we tried to achieve small goals. Some days were very difficult & my body gave up many times.”
Manisha said that during the entire journey, Akshay was extremely patient with her.
With proper rest and intake of nutrition, she started gaining strength. She said that for 2 months, she felt stagnant but with persistence & dedication, results finally started coming up.
“I could do my 1st push up haha I felt I could win the world now,” the actor said.
With time, everything started following in line and the journey became fun. The actor is finally back on track. “Now I can do 17 pushups at a go. I am back to my racing,” she said. Towards the end, she wrote, “It’s about your overall growth. It’s different for each of us.
