Bodybuilder, And Still Going Strong



Manohar Aich born March 17, 1914 (age 103)
is an Indian bodybuilder.
He won the first Mr Universe in 1952 Mr.
Universe – Group III championship. He is also
a three-time Asian Games gold medalist in
body building.
Manohar Aich, is 4 foot 11, overcame many
hurdles, including grinding poverty and a stint
in prison, to achieve bodybuilding glory.
Rippling his muscles and flashing a toothless
grin, Aich says his ability to take his troubles
lightly and remain happy during difficult times
are the secrets to his long life.
That, and a simple diet of milk, fruits and
vegetables along with rice, lentils and fish
have kept him healthy.
He does not smoke and has never touched
alcohol, he said.
“I never allow any sort of tension to grip me. I
had to struggle to earn money since my
young days, but whatever the situation, I
remained happy,” Aich said, sitting in a room
decorated with posters and pictures of his
many bodybuilding triumphs.
Aich, who was born in the small town of
Comilla in Bengal, was a puny youngster. But
he was attracted to exercising and building
his muscles when as a schoolboy he saw a
group of wrestlers in action.
