Last year, Ramdev was seen driving a Mahindra XUV700 with his colleagues.

In 2018, Jaggi Vasudev had taken Ramdev on a bike ride around the former's ashram near Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu.

In 2021, Ramdev's remarks during a yoga session triggered action by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). He had asked his followers to invest in Pantajali's Ruchi Soya.

The market regulator wrote to Ruchi Soya and the bankers involved with its follow-on public offer (FPO), asking for an explanation for flouting investment adviser regulations and norms on insider trading and unfair trade practices.

Patanjali Ayurved acquired bankrupt Ruchi Soya, known for its Nutrela brand of products, under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code in 2019. Ramdev is a non-executive director of Ruchi Soya.
