           When he was around 7 years old, he forced to his mother for a bicycle. But she put it off as long as she could. Due to his stubborn behaviour finally he got a new bicycle. For the first time he took his new bicycle on the road and drove straight into rickshaw and ended up with 10 stitches. When he was young. One of his friend lay his hand on an air gun and his friends were goofing around with it not knowing how it 
works. Yuvi decided to take matters into his own hands and make sure it worked. Unfortunately, he did too much and it worked so well that accidentlly handed up shooting his friend in the stomach. Thankfully it was a minor injury.
           Tennis and roller skating were among Yuvi's favourite sports during his childhood and he was quite good at both. He won the National U-14 Roller Skating Championship.
