Chandigarh, March 11
According to business tycoon Anand Mahindra this 103-year-old woman can “outrace the virus”.
In a Twitter post, Mahindra shared a clip of Mann Kaur, a 103-year-old woman who has been honoured with the prestigious ‘Nari Shakti Puruskar’ for her achievement in athletics.
“The world is consumed by fear of COVID-19, but here’s one ninety plus lady, Mrs. Kaur, who won’t be scared at all, in my opinion! She looks like she’s ready to outrace the virus. What an inspiration,” tweeted Mahindra. He later clarified that Kaur is in fact 100 plus and that makes her “even more inspirational!”
Dubbed the “Miracle mom from Chandigarh”, Kaur took up running at the age of 93 and has since been winning medals for her athletic prowess.
The video posted by Mahindra shows Kaur collecting her ‘Nari Shakti Puruskar’—India’s highest civilian honour for women—from President Ram Nath Kovind. Her enthusiasm is truly incredible to watch.
