Mumbai, March 16 (NationPress) - Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has officially launched the three-day 'Fit India Carnival' on March 16. The Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has appointed actor Ayushmann Khurrana as the 'Fit India Icon'.
In his remarks, Ayushmann expressed, "I engage in socially significant films, but in my personal life, I also aspire to be a role model, whether as the UNICEF national ambassador or now as the Fit India Icon. This is both an honor and a significant responsibility."
When questioned about maintaining fitness in today's hectic world, the 'Andhadhun' star responded, "Hustle is essential; our work extends beyond typical 9 to 5 hours. However, without a fit body, enjoying success becomes futile. A balanced life is crucial, which includes getting 7 to 8 hours of sleep, having a nutritious diet, and listening to your body."
He also addressed the misconception that fitness is exclusive to the wealthy, stating, "Fitness is not solely for those with financial means. Anyone can stay fit without a gym. Outdoor bodyweight exercises can suffice. What matters is having passion, consistency, and a disciplined routine."
On discussing Prime Minister Narendra Modi's anti-obesity initiative, Ayushmann said, "It is vital for our nation's leaders, including sports figures and actors, to convey the right message by leading through example. We must also enhance our awareness regarding diet and exercise, ensuring safety while working out and having proper guidance, along with greater awareness of nutrition."
