Chetan Jajani With Alma Chopra | Childhood | Life Journey | Disability Experience

A young boy named Chetan Jajani dared to dream. Born and raised in a humble rural setting, Chetan’s life took a dramatic turn at the age of two when polio struck, leaving his lower limbs paralyzed. Yet, even in those early years, Chetan’s spirit remained unbreakable.
From a young age, he began to realize the challenges that lay ahead for a differently-abled person in India. The reality of navigating life in a wheelchair made him mature beyond his years, but it also ignited a fire within him-a determination to carve out his own path, no matter how difficult.
Despite the odds, Chetan thrived in an integrated institution that recognized his potential. He was not just a bright student but also a creative force, and the inclusive environment around him only served to fuel his ambition.
But life had more challenges in store. Moving to the city for higher education, Chetan faced new obstacles-physical barriers, societal negligence, and the ever-present struggle of accessibility. Yet, he confronted each challenge with unwavering determination, developing both his mental and physical strength. He went on to excel in athletics, winning in shot put and cycling at district and state levels. His persistence knew no bounds.
In 2016, a twist of fate introduced Chetan to para powerlifting, a sport designed for individuals with disabilities. This discovery became a turning point in his life. The gym became his sanctuary, a place where he could push his limits, both physically and mentally. With each session, his confidence grew, and he soon achieved a silver medal in para powerlifting at the Gujarat state level. This victory validated his hard work and sparked a belief that anything was possible.
Chetan didn’t stop there. He began to venture into new territories, pushing the boundaries of what was deemed possible for someone in a wheelchair. In 2023, he took the stage at the Rubaru Mr. India Male Pageant, a national-level competition where he represented Gujarat with pride, showcasing the traditional Gujarati national costume in his wheelchair. He was the first person in a wheelchair from Gujarat to compete in this contest, and his courage and charisma won him not only the title of Mr. India West 2023 but also the accolade of “Most Inspirational Personality of India.”
For Chetan, this was more than a victory; it was a platform to inspire others. As a Rubaru Mr. India titleholder, he sees it as his responsibility to spread awareness and advocate for people with disabilities, emphasizing their education, upbringing, and empowerment. His message is clear: “Dare to be different, and the world is all yours.”
Today, Chetan resides in Mangalore, Karnataka, working as a fitness consultant. He continues to challenge himself every day, preparing for upcoming domestic and international events, refusing to let any obstacle define his limits.
Chetan Jajani’s journey is far from over. He is a man on a mission-a mission to motivate those who feel trapped in their comfort zones, to break free, to become physically active, and to dream without limits. His story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit, proving that with resilience, passion, and determination, one can transform challenges into stepping stones toward greatness.
And so, the journey continues…
