Lakshmi Manchu cycles around Tank Bund with para-athlete Aditya Mehta

Actor Lakshmi Manchu has shown us once again how she’s always up for new challenges. On Wednesday, the W/o Ram star took to social media to share a picture from her morning cycle ride with acclaimed para-cyclist

Aditya Mehta

. Aditya lost his leg in an accident in 2005, but he fought against all odds to become one of the few para-athletes from India to have cycled from Manali to

Khardung La

pass. “He is an incredible human being and is such an inspiration. He is going on a 10K cycle ride soon and I wanted to join him, but before that I wanted to go for a practice session with him because it has been years since I last rode a bicycle,” says the actor, who accompanied Aditya on a 10K bike ride around Tank Bund early on Wednesday. “I just thought I’ll be able to do the warm up but I finished the whole ride in 29 minutes!” exclaims the actor, adding, “It didn’t seem much when I was doing it, maybe because of the adrenaline rush, but when I came home, my arms and legs were shaking. But I hope to go on more such rides.”
