That’s exactly what Dr Shraddha Chauhan proved with her brave act.

Chauhan celebrated her 80th birthday with a tandem skydive—despite suffering from vertigo, cervical spondylitis, and prolapsed spinal discs, she went ahead and did it.

Jumping from a height of 10,000 feet, Chauhan has now set a record: she became the oldest Indian woman to do a tandem skydive, and the oldest to do it within India.

She took the plunge with her son, Saurabh Singh Shekhawat, a retired brigadier, who shared the heartwarming video on Instagram.

“Saurabh... this is something out of the world... salute to her,” said one user.

“Truly inspirational,” wrote another. “#Bravery is in blood. Huge respect for you,” read one of the comments.
