India's Strongest Man

Outlook

Available for over a year

Manoj Chopra is India's strongest man. He pulls cars, lies on beds of nails and enjoys ripping apart phone directories. With his big moustache and heavy 6ft 5inch frame, Manoj has earned himself nicknames like the "Chattisgarh Giant" and "Bangalore Bhima" - but it hasn't always been this way. The road to being a strong man started in the unlikely setting of a beauty contest.
