70-Year-Old Grandma Goes Viral Overcoming Arthritis By Lifting Heavy Weights
70-year-old Roshni Devi Sangwan from India is going viral after overcoming arthritis through weightlifting.
Once limited by painful knees, she now lifts weights heavier than many young gym-goers. Her transformation from pain to strength has inspired thousands, proving arthritis doesn’t always mean slowing down.
Her journey began at 68, when Sangwan was diagnosed with arthritis in her knees, making walking and even standing unbearable.
Encouraged by her son, she stepped into a gym for the first time. “I was skeptical at first because I’d never heard of anyone joining the gym at my age,” Sangwan said.
Her son, Ajay Sangwan, was in his forties running an export business when his love for fitness pushed him to become a certified trainer in 2019.
By 2023, he quit business entirely to train his mother full-time. “Mum was miserable after her arthritis diagnosis, and I felt helpless,” he said.
In 2024, Roshni took part in a deadlift competition organized by a local gym and won the gold medal.
She has also been invited to compete in the World Championships for Strongman, hosted by the World Strength Games in the US next May, and is now training for the event.
For Roshni, the real victory is living pain-free. She can walk without fear, sit cross-legged, and move with ease.
“Now I have so much energy. My joints don’t hurt, my posture is better, and I feel more confident. Even heavy chores no longer leave me tired,” she said.
Punch has gone viral again after older monkeys comforted him following an accidental fall into a pond at the zoo.
Caretakers later confirmed that he had fully recovered, eating well, playing with peers, and running around energetically as if nothing had happened.
Back in 2016, Park Geon Roung was one of the child actors who starred in the Baby Shark Dance video, which went on to become the most viewed YouTube video of all time.
He was just a kid then, and now at 17, he is showing the world just how beautifully time flies.
Geon Roung never stepped away from the spotlight. Since 2019, he has been part of Play With Me Club, a South Korean co-ed kids group, keeping his place in showbiz.
Fans who rediscovered him recently were stunned, with many saying he now looks just like a K-pop idol.
The ‘Baby Shark’ video was uploaded to YouTube in June 2016 by Pinkfong, a South Korean education brand.
It quickly became a staple in nursery schools and a go-to distraction for parents of toddlers worldwide, turning into one of the most recognizable children’s songs of its generation.
For many who grew up watching that video on repeat, seeing Geon Roung at 17 is a quiet reminder of how fast kids grow up.
One day they are dancing to baby shark, and before you know it, they are teenagers the internet is falling in love with.
BLACKPINK’s Lisa is going viral after visiting Punch, the baby Japanese macaque at Ichikawa City Zoo in Japan.
She posted the moment on her Instagram Story, showing full love to the beloved viral monkey. The photos spread across social media almost immediately.
What made the visit even more special was what Lisa brought with her.
She carried an orangutan plush toy identical to the one Punch is famous for clutching, the same toy that once comforted a baby monkey rejected by his mother and turned him into a global sensation.
