He also mentioned an incident that took place three days before International Yoga Day. CJI Chandrachud said, “Three days ago I was doing Surya Namaskar and suddenly sprained his back,” adding that the incident taught him that “we should always remain humble”.

Earlier, in an exclusive interview to NDTV, the CJI said he wakes at 3:30 am to do yoga every day.
