Arjun Kapoor joins Amruta Fadnavis for Yoga Day 2024 with 1000 women in Mumbai, calls yoga India’s global gift and promotes mental and physical well-being.
Arjun Kapoor marked International Yoga Day 2024 by joining Amruta Fadnavis and 1000 women for a special mass yoga session in Mumbai.
Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor joined thousands across the country to mark the 11th International Day of Yoga, celebrating the transformative power of yoga for both body and mind. Kapoor, who has been vocal about his own fitness journey, called the day a “moment of pride” for India as yoga continues to resonate with people around the world.
Speaking to the media during the celebrations, Kapoor said, “I feel happy and proud to celebrate this day with everyone. India should take pride in how yoga has become a global phenomenon. It’s one of the most significant gifts we’ve given the world. Yoga is not just a fitness trend — it’s a holistic approach to living.”
Highlighting the accessibility and inclusivity of the practice, he added, “Yoga has no age limit. You can begin at any stage of your life and grow at your own pace. It’s a combination of movement and meditation that nourishes both the body and the soul.”
Kapoor also praised the efforts of Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who brought together over 1,000 women for a mass yoga session. “It’s amazing to see women and young girls coming together to inspire each other. Amruta ji’s initiative is commendable — there’s truly nothing more empowering than women leading wellness from the front,” he said.
Reflecting on his own path to wellness, Kapoor shared that he was once a “plump teenager” and that his transformation wasn’t instant. “Change doesn’t happen overnight. You have to begin somewhere — even if it’s just walking for ten minutes a day or practicing yoga for twenty minutes. It’s about finding balance and building consistency,” he advised.
Encouraging others to take the first step, Kapoor said, “Don’t wait for Monday or a perfect time. Start now. If it doesn’t go well today, try again tomorrow. It took me four years to reach here. If I can do it, so can you.”
Joining Kapoor at the event was actress Nushrratt Bharuccha, who also voiced her love for yoga. “It’s energising. If you include yoga in your daily routine, it nourishes your mind, body, and soul,” she told ANI.
This year’s International Day of Yoga was celebrated under the global theme, “Yoga for One Earth, One Health”, reaffirming the deep connection between individual well-being and planetary health.
