Earlier this week, the 54-year-old producer posted a video of himself being dropped off at the Mumbai airport. His dog was also present in the car. He wrote, “Khichu comes to see me off but then he wants to accompany. #love#animallovers #shitzu #ebc.”

On Sunday, he added a video showing that no matter where in the world you may go, someone will always be around taking videos and selfies. JD captioned the video, “Mountains gives you so much #Happiness #joy #laughter #madness #fun #love #friendly #spirituality.” In the video, he and the local woman joyously film one another. They both burst out laughing and he later asks her, “Accha laga yeh?(Did you like it?). She replies in the affirmative and shares the peace sign.

He also shared another video of himself climbing up a rocky trekking path while singing the Kishore Kumar song Chalte Chalte Mere Yeh Geet. Composed by Bappi Lahiri, the song is from the 1976 film Chalte Chalte. JD is dressed in black and grey pants, a red long-sleeved T-shirt, grey jacket and sunglasses. His backpack secured to his body, JD used a walking stick for the uneven terrain. He also covered his head with a black beanie hat with the Superman logo.

One fan wrote, “Incredible, proud of you.” While another shared, “It’s not madness , it’s a inner child in you.. that’s really commendable.. inspiring for todays youth.. over materialistic hona , ego rakhna .. over selfish hona (over being materialistic, having an ego, or being selfish).. is gonna make you pay.. @jd_majethia guruji aap ese hi prerna dete rahe.. apne kaam aur niji jivan ki kriyao se (Teacher, please keep inspiring us like this, with your work and your life).”
