As per national media reports, Lad's financial health was not in the pink after he quit bodybuilding four years ago. A couple of years ago, he landed a job as a trainer at a gym in Baroda.

Reports say that his wife, too, is Covid positive. Survived by wife and a daughter, Lad was expected to recover from the infection, considering that a bodybuilder is intuitively expected to have a strong immunity.
