His family spoke to The News Minute about the moment.

"We knew that he was part of a yoga programme but in TV, we could not identify that it was him... We received the selfie on WhatsApp but when we saw it we were surprised," the boy's uncle told the online news outlet.

"[Hedge] is disciplined and does all his work on time. Not just because he is my relative but because I cannot argue with him in our family! He has the knowledge that none of the others in the family have," the uncle said.
