Finally, on his birthday, his BP was at 140/80 to 145/80, which is permissible for people at that age. Nair was finally allowed to dive his birthday.

Instead, I felt great exhilaration the moment I jumped out of the plane and spent the initial moments freefalling at 120km/hr,” he exclaimed.
Nair’s daughters, Richa and Shruti, and his son-in-law Varun have all gone skydiving in the past and Nair is delighted to be able to join the gang.
Well, this is not the first time the Nair has taken up an adventurous sport like this. In the past, Nair has also gone ziplining at Ras Al Khaimah as well as taken a ride in the fastest roller coaster in the world in Abu Dhabi.
