Ayushmann, who has a huge fan following among the youth, is now focused on motivating millions of Indians to prioritize their health and well-being. Through his involvement with the movement, he encourages people to approach fitness with enthusiasm and commitment.
The Fit India Movement is aimed at making physical fitness a key part of daily life, providing easy and fun ways for people to stay active. It works to remove obstacles to fitness, raise awareness about physical activities, and teach people about the many benefits of staying active.
The movement also seeks to revive and promote traditional Indian sports, celebrating the country's rich cultural heritage.
Khurrana said "Good health empowers us to do anything. When your health is good, the challenges in life whether personal or professional seem manageable. But when your health is compromised, it becomes the only challenge that matters. A healthy individual is capable, confident, and resilient even when the world around them feels uncertain."
"Health truly is everything. A healthy nation is a wealthy nation. When we are healthy, we are more productive, more prosperous and contribute to nation-building," he added.
Mandaviya said, "When celebrities like you come on this platform and give a positive message about Fit India, after hearing your words, many youngsters will get inspiration and will join the Fit India movement and stay fit."
