The couple married on January 6, 1925, in India and recently celebrated their 86th wedding anniversary. The Chands have eight children, 27 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.

“Eat and drink whatever you like in moderation. I never hesitate to enjoy life,” said Chand, who said she and her husband eat only fresh, natural foods, along with butter, milk and yoghurt.
