Vidyut Jamwal performs 16-minute breath-holding feat
Bollywood actor Vidyut Jamwal performed a feat of physical discipline at a recent event held to reveal the first look of his upcoming Hollywood film, ‘Street Fighter’. During the event, Jamwal sat in a meditative state for approximately 16 minutes without blinking and while reportedly holding his breath.
Observers noted that while Jamwal remained perfectly still, his eyes began to water toward the end of the duration. Jamwal described the practice as ‘Patanjali Yoga Sutra’ and noted that he practices this meditation regularly and also provides training to college students.
The ‘Street Fighter’ film, directed by Kitao Sakurai, is scheduled for release on October 16, in which Jamwal portrays the martial artist character Dhalsim.
