Anushka Accepts Virat's Fitness Challenge, Nominates Dipika Pallikal and Varun Dhawan

After Virat Kohli accepted the fitness challenge by the Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Rathore, it's Anushka Sharma's turn. Kohli forwarded the challenge to three people, PM Narendra Modi, former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his wife and actor-producer Anushka Sharma.

Sharma took to Twitter to post a video of herself in the gym taking the # #HumFitTohIndiaFit challenge. She further nominated Squash player Dipika Pallikal Karthik and her Sui Dhaga co-star Varun Dhawan for the same. Sharma tweeted, "I accept your challenge @imVKohli. Here’s my video for the #HumFitTohIndiaFit #FitnessChallenge. I’d like to nominate my friends, @DipikaPallikal and @Varun_dvn Great initiative @Ra_THORe sir! #ComeOutAndPlay"

On the work front, Anushka is currently busy wrapping the shoot of her upcoming film Zero opposite Shah Rukh Khan and Sui Dhaga with Varun.

PM Modi had started the Fit India movement through his Mann Ki Baat programme. Since then he has been constantly urging people to focus on fitness and encouraging their participation.

The Sports Minister, Rajyavardhan Rathore, one of India’s first individual Olympic medallists, had shared a video of himself on social media doing pushups, and had asked people to take a video of their "fitness mantra" and share it in a bid to make people aware of the necessity of fitness. Along with Kohli, Rathore had also challenged actor Hrithik Roshan and badminton ace Saina Nehwal to join in.
