Every year the government tries to recognize such talents and award them with a prestigious civilian award - Karmaveer Chakra, which is also a tribute to former President of India late A.P.J Abdul Kalam. News Heads spoke with one such talent from Gurdaspur district in Punjab, Kuwar Amritbir Singh.

News Heads asked him to elaborate more about his thought over winning two world records and then getting a nomination for Karamveer Chakra.

He said, "As I haven't gone to gym till date, I do my practice with my own homemade desi workout equipments with plastic bottles, bricks, tyres and cement tiles etc. And I am proud of it that I am first boy from Punjab to break these National Records at the young age practicing with traditional methods and now nominated for Karmaveer Chakra Awards on the behalf of inspiring youth to follow their passion.

Since he has worked in a TV reality show and has acted in short movies, we were curious to know if he wants to pursue a career as an entertainer?

We wish the man the best of luck with his future plans.
