Rishabh Singh Sambyal served as President Droupadi Murmu ‘s Aide-de-Camp (ADC) before taking premature retirement after 12 years in the Army. Days after his retirement made headlines, Rishabh spoke openly about the difficult call in a new interview with Raj Shamani.
As for whether he and the other ADCs train themselves to become more alert, Rishabh admitted as much, detailing what the training entails. “During a probation, so you’re roughly carrying around 80 to 70 kgs on yourself. You’re deprived of water, you’re deprived of food, and you’re deprived of sleep for 30 to 40 days,” he explained.
Since 2014, I’ve never lived with my mom. During the podcast, he also touched on the incredible bond he shares with the President, as many call them a mother-son duo. He shared, “The first time I met the President, it felt like my mother was standing in front of me. I always used to go back home for a couple of days, live with her and then again bye-bye for the next six or seven months, and then see her after six months.”
