From March to mid-April, the 27-year-old had removed all social media apps from his phone to focus on the upcoming Tokyo 2020 Olympics. However, the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country forced him to get back to social media again, as he wanted to utilise his time by providing his followers as much information as possible related to COVID-19.
Earlier, Punia had shared a video of himself working out for the Tokyo Olympics, which is slated to be held later this year.
In April, Punia was forced to pull out of the Asian Wrestling Championships final after suffering a niggle in his elbow. After he withdrew, Takuto Otoguro of Japan was awarded the gold medal and the Indian had to be satisfied with the silver medal.
