Mumbai, July 24 (IANS) Action star and Indian martial artist Vidyut Jammwal has heaped praise on India’s youth for demonstrating the true spirit of ahimsa (non-violence), saying their courage and resilience have set an example for generations to come.
Vidyut addressed to the country’s young generation in a video message, where he drew his experience as a martial artist and spoke about the power of resilience
He said in the video in Hindi: “This message is for every young Indian raising your voice. You have shown and explained the meaning of ahimsa (non-violence). For generations to come.”
The actor, who is a practitioner of the martial art Kalaripayattu, said that real strength lies in enduring hardships rather than inflicting harm.
“Being a martial artist, I can guarantee one thing, the one who gets beaten up is much bigger than the one who kills. It’s not about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit. And you keep moving, you stand up and you keep moving forward. Keep moving forward. Jai Hind,” he concluded.
