A few kids can be seen practicing with bamboo sticks in Sonu Sood Martial Arts School. Aaji will teach women & young children self-defence techniques in the training school. Earlier, on seeing the viral street videos of Aaji, Sonu had offered to open a school for her. Now, he has fulfilled his promise.
Aaji recently featured in Khatron Ke Khiladi: Made in India on the occasion of Independence Day. She reportedly decided to perform on the streets to sustain herself and her family. A clip that was widely shared on social media showed her rotating one stick and then two sticks at a rapid speed before seeking alms.
The one good thing which has come out of the coronavirus pandemic and the lockdown is that it has brought several skills and talents of people to the front, which were otherwise hidden or had gone unnoticed for a long time. The latest addition to the list is of a lady from #Pune showing off her martial arts skills in the middle of the road, only to earn for her family members. The 85-year-old, who has gone viral by the name '#WarriorAaji', can be seen wearing a simple saree and mask and wielding two sticks like a professional to perform various stunts. As the woman earned overnight fame on social media, even Bollywood stars like @riteishd and @randeephooda couldn't help but be awestruck by the septuagenarian's impeccable skills.
