Prepare to be amazed this Monday at 8 PM as ‘OMG! Yeh Mera India’ features incredible Indians who let nothing stop them from achieving their dreams
India, May 2021: What makes some people do things that leave the rest of us completely gobsmacked, staring at them in amazement? This week, on the next episode of ‘OMG! Yeh Mera India’, airing every Monday at 8 PM only on HistoryTV18, prepare to be amazed by two gob-smacking achievers from the state of Maharashtra. The super-successful series that showcases the incredible talents and amazing achievements of Indians features 13-year old Raheesh Khatri from Mumbai, India’s youngest daredevil motocross racer, and 43-year-old Divyanshu Ganatra from Pune, an incredible visually-impaired solo paraglider.
Wonderkid Raheesh got his license to race at the tender age of six and became the world’s youngest drag racer. On the episode airing this Monday at 8 PM on HistoryTV18, his father, Mudassar Khatri, reminisces how the first words he spoke as a toddler were “vroom vroom.” No wonder then that after having won more than 30 trophies and medals from around the world, including at the MRF Supercross and the Dubai DMX, he’s now on his way to even greater things. An expert in one-hander jumps, freestyle motocross, wheelies, and stoppies, nothing fazes him. Not only are tight turns, obstacles, and steep jumps a piece of cake, but he also enjoys the support of leading brands.
Just a few hundred kilometres away in the beautiful city of Pune lives another amazing Indian. 43-year old Divyanshu Ganatra lost his eyesight at the age of 19. His only thought was, “so what if I can’t see? That’s not going to stop me from flying!” Today, as a visually impaired solo paraglider, he has taken it all in his stride. During a flight, his instructor, Avi Malik, gives him visual feedback from his environment via radio, and Divyanshu knows the theory and practice of flying like the back of his hand. After having accomplished incredible things, like summitting Mt. Kilimanjaro, he now runs a non-profit called Adventure Beyond Boundaries, helping other specially-abled people to get a taste of adventure.
On the next episode of ‘OMG! Yeh Mera India’ watch incredible stories of amazing Indians from across the length and breadth of the country. Tune in to watch the series every Monday at 8 PM, only on HIstoryTV18.
