Courage truly knows no age—because when you’re determined to achieve something, the only thing that matters is a strong will.

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.

“A mother. A milestone. A moment that soared. — Courage knows no age. — Love has no altitude,” Shekhawat wrote in the caption.

The video has been widely appreciated online, with many users inspired by Shraddha’s fearless act.

“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.
