Kabir's first campaign took direct shots at IronSoul:
"Why train with washed-up Insta trainers when you can train with real athletes?"
He didn't name Aarav.
But the message was clear.
Aarav refused to respond publicly. But inside, the fire was building. He increased training intensity, pushed his team to upgrade IronSoul's gym, and prepped for his next national tournament—a Muay Thai championship in Mumbai.
But pushing harder comes with a price.
During sparring, Aarav attempted a flying knee—one of his signature moves. He landed wrong.
A pop. A sharp, white-hot pain in his right knee.
He collapsed.
