"I am someone who takes fitness very seriously but at the same time, I feel that we live in a very stressful world.

"If we see the lives of people and their sleeping patterns, heath issues start at a younger age than it used to for people of generation before us," Farhan said here on Thursday. So, he feels it is important to have health insurance at a young age.

On associating with Farhan, Antony Jacob, CEO, Apollo Munich Health Insurance, said: "We have a few values - honouring commitment, innovation, relationships which go beyond a particular transaction and to be accessible at all times.
