Vidyut Jammwal did perform a 16-minute open-eye meditation display at a press event, but he was not holding his breath the whole time. Viral captions mixed up his non-blinking focus exercise with a breath hold. Without breathing pure oxygen beforehand, the world record for holding your breath is 11 minutes and 35 seconds. Holding your breath for 16 minutes without oxygen while standing on a live stage is physiologically impossible and would lead to immediate blackout. He showed impressive focus and eye control by standing still without blinking, but he was still breathing normally throughout the demonstration.
