In 2021, Navi’s life changed dramatically after a diagnosis of Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS), a rare neurological disorder that led to paralysis. Over the years, Navi has shown remarkable progress in recovery, transitioning from a wheelchair to using a walker and crutches with AFO braces, despite ongoing challenges with partial paralysis in the legs and feet and limited fine motor skills in the hands.

Before GBS, Navi thrived on an active lifestyle, frequenting the gym daily—sometimes twice a week—and finding solace in running as both therapy and exercise. Losing that freedom was a profound challenge, yet Navi remains determined to embrace life fully, facing each day with unwavering resilience.
