Delhi man quits law to be fitness trainer with wife's encouragement, then sets off for Ireland for her dream job. Internet cheers their love story

In a time when ambition and independence can often take partners in divergent directions, a simple act by an Indian fitness coach is giving hope back to union. Kanav Vohra, an erstwhile legal professional who switched to being a fitness and nutrition coach, went public recently in an Instagram post where he disclosed that he relocated to Dublin, Ireland—not for career, not for travel—but to advance his wife's professional aspirations. The post went on to become viral, with netizens praising his unshakeable support.

A Journey That Begun With Belief

Kanav, who once quit a stable law career to start his fitness business, getfitwithkanav, gives credit to his wife Ritika Vij for supporting him during the times of uncertainty. In a previous post, he remembered how Ritika encouraged him when he didn't have any clients, no business plan, and only an idea. "She believed in GetFitWithKanav before it was even a name," he had written.

Flash forward to their second anniversary of marriage, and Kanav revealed how it was now his time to be there for her. "Now, it's her turn to shine. And my turn to be her biggest cheerleader!" he wrote, attaching a sentimental clip that showed the world about their life and love.

Why Ireland? Because of Her Dreams

The question that most were wondering—"Why did you relocate to Ireland?"—was answered in the video. Kanav's response was followed by a smiling photograph of Ritika with the caption: "Because of this woman and her big dreams."

Ritika, who went to college in Dublin and eventually got her dream job there, encouraged Kanav to follow. "She stood by me when I had no clients, no clarity, just a big dream and even bigger fears," he said. "Showing up for her? That's the easiest thing I've ever done."

Social Media Cheers On

The post resonated with people all over the world, having received more than four lakh views and loads of encouraging comments. One of the users commented, "Such a beautiful post! It's so heartening to see how grateful you and your wife are towards each other… It's indeed a blessing to have the people who support us and believe in us." Another added, "When two fortunate people find each other and form a beautiful demonstration of love."

To most, Kanav's decision was not just admirable—it was inspiring. "Love is being there for one another in the journey," one of his followers noted, sentiments expressed by thousands.

Kanav's anniversary message to Ritika also showed how their relationship flourishes based on empathy and shared aspirations. "Life with you has been nothing short of amazing. From laughing together to fighting over desserts, lifting each other through every high and low…" he wrote. "The best part of my story will always be you.".

In the world today, relationships are usually challenged by career demands and spatial distances. But Kanav's action of traveling across continents for his wife's dreams is an indication that love is not only a word—it's in action.
