Defying Age at 70: Indian Seniors Skydive, Dive Oceans, Trek Antarctica | TOI Shorts

From Vadodara and Ahmedabad, a spirited group of over 70 Indian senior citizens is redefining what retirement looks like — trading rest for adrenaline. Among them are Gautam Kothari, 74, who has lost vision in one eye, and his wife Beena, 72, who struggles to walk long distances. Yet the couple has skydived, scuba dived, bungee jumped and even trekked across Antarctica’s icy terrain. In just four years, they have travelled to 14 countries, cruising polar waters and visiting some of the world’s remotest locations. Their story challenges age stereotypes, proving adventure has no expiry date.
