Background
The latest update comes days after Sharat Saxena had shared pictures of himself undergoing a standing MRI at a hospital ahead of his lumbar spine surgery.
His caption read, "Standing MRI before lumbar spine surgery at Bombay Hospital." He was seen strapped into an upright MRI machine while undergoing the scan.
For the uninitiated, Sharat had previously spoken about training for around two hours a day, saying that while a 20-minute workout would leave him exhausted when he was younger, he could train for two hours later in life and still feel good.
