In a daring display of physical prowess and spiritual practice, actor Vidyut Jammwal has recently gone viral after posting a video of himself climbing a tree completely naked. The video, shared on his Instagram account, has sparked a flurry of reactions online, ranging from shock and amusement to admiration and intrigue.
The video shows Jammwal skillfully scaling a tree in what appears to be a forest-like setting. While the actor is nude, an "evil eye" emoji strategically conceals his private parts.
Jammwal, known for his dedication to Kalaripayattu, an ancient Indian martial art, explained the act as part of his annual "Sahaja" practice. In the caption accompanying the video, he wrote, "As a Kalaripayattu practitioner, I delve into the yogic practice of Sahaja once a year. Sahaja means returning to a state of natural ease and instinct, fostering a deeper connection to nature and inner awareness". He further elaborated on the scientific benefits, stating that it "activates numerous neuroreceptors and proprioceptors, enhancing sensory feedback and improving balance and coordination. This leads to greater body awareness, heightened mental focus, and a profound sense of grounding".
The video has elicited a wide range of responses from social media users. Some have reacted with humor, with one user jesting, "But was it necessary to go naked for climbing a tree?". Another commenter quipped, "Even Tarzan wore a loincloth, but you are in a different league". Others have expressed admiration for Jammwal's confidence and dedication to his practice, with comments such as "The confidence you carry within yourself sir… biggest inspiration". Some fans defended Jammwal's choice, with one writing, "He is living an actual human life," and another adding, "The amount of focus to connect with nature".
This isn't the first time Jammwal has embraced nudity in connection with his spiritual practices. He previously shared images of himself naked during a Himalayan retreat, which also garnered significant attention.
Vidyut Jammwal was last seen in Madharaasi, directed by AR Murugadoss. The film was commercially successful.
