After Suffering Severe Brain Bleed During a Workout, L.A. Man Celebrates Recovery and Becoming New Dad


After suffering from a life threatening brain bleed, American Ninja Warrior competitor dad Chinna Balachandran is celebrating his life with twin babies. Since the 2019 boxing blow, he's miraculously back to work as a Los Angeles psychologist and living his best life.

Chinna Balachandran says the life he had five years ago ceased to exist after he almost died from a head blow during a boxing workout — leaving him with a severe brain bleed and major physical and psychological complications. The couple, who first met while students at the University of Texas at Austin, tried repeatedly to have children after they were married, with Wendel having several miscarriages before getting pregnant last year with their twins. During his dogged training program and physical therapy, Balachandran decided to compete on American Ninja Warrior, where athletes test themselves to complete an obstacle course.
