Vidyut Jammwal, a fitness aficionado known for his disciplined lifestyle, has recently sparked a flurry of reactions online with his latest video. The Force star, who is well-versed in Kalaripayattu, shared a surprising clip of himself climbing a tree in the nude, leaving many social media users astonished.
In this eye-catching video, Vidyut can be seen scaling the tree completely unclothed. He took a moment to clarify the intention behind this act, revealing that it forms part of his annual Sahaj practice.
“As a practitioner of Kalaripayattu, I engage in the yogic practice of Sahaja once a year. ‘Sahaja’ signifies returning to a state of natural ease and instinct, promoting a closer bond with nature and enhancing inner awareness,” he explained in his post.
He elaborated further, stating, “Scientifically, this practice stimulates various neuroreceptors and proprioceptors, which boosts sensory feedback and refines balance and coordination. This results in increased body awareness, improved mental focus, and a profound sense of grounding.”
The video has evoked mixed reactions across social media. While some applauded Vidyut for showcasing the yogic practice, others found humor in the post.
One user remarked, “Your energy is pure Kalaripayattu, Jammwal sir. Watching this reminds me of 2021 when I used to climb trees during the lockdown and dive into the village pond. That connection with nature was truly therapeutic.”
Another user commented, “It takes a significant awakening to grasp this truth of life. Knowing that you’ve attained this level through Kalari, ancient wisdom, and life experiences makes you one of the most authentic individuals out there. Much respect!”
A third user humorously noted, “Tarzan also wore leaves, but sir, you are truly exceptional!”
On the professional front, Vidyut Jammwal is set to appear in the Hollywood film ‘Street Fighter.’ The official synopsis describes: “Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are drawn back into conflict when the enigmatic Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament — a fierce showdown of fists, fate, and fury. However, lurking behind this battle royale is a deadly conspiracy that compels them to confront each other and their past demons. Failure to do so means game over.”
