In this inspiring episode of Live Your Best Life, Unscripted, host Ajay Khanna, Managing Director of Herbalife India, sits down with Deepa Malik, India’s first female Paralympic medallist, to explore resilience, self-belief, adaptability, and the power of choosing how we respond to life’s challenges.

Resilience is not something we are simply born with. It is built through the choices we make, the setbacks we overcome, and the courage to keep moving forward. Drawing from a life shaped by extraordinary challenges and equally extraordinary achievements, Deepa shares how she learned to adapt to change, rebuild her identity, and focus on ability rather than limitation.

From experiencing paralysis and rebuilding her life to becoming a mother, entrepreneur, biker, athlete, and Paralympic medallist, Deepa’s journey is a powerful reminder that setbacks do not have to define what comes next. She speaks candidly about learning to listen to her inner voice, finding the right support system, asking for help when needed, and celebrating the small victories that eventually lead to bigger ones.

The conversation also explores the importance of self-love, discipline, continuous learning, and having the courage to change direction when Plan A does not work. As Deepa puts it, no one achieves anything entirely alone. Resilience is also about recognising the people around us, accepting support, and continuing to believe in ourselves even when circumstances change.

💡 In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why resilience is built through practice, choices, and everyday actions
• How Deepa rebuilt her identity after paralysis and turned adversity into possibility
• Why adapting to change is one of life’s most important skills
• The importance of self-belief and listening to your inner voice
• Why asking for help is a strength, not a weakness
• How small victories can create the confidence to pursue bigger goals
• Why discipline, consistency, and preparation matter when facing setbacks
• The importance of self-love and never giving up on yourself

This conversation goes beyond medals, records, and sporting achievements. It is about learning to work with the life you have, finding new possibilities when circumstances change, and understanding that resilience is something we can all strengthen over time.

🎧 Tune in to ”Resilience Is Built, Not Born” and discover how Deepa Malik turned some of life’s toughest challenges into a journey of possibility, purpose, and achievement, proving that while we may not choose every challenge that comes our way, we can choose how we respond to it.
