Actor Ayushmann Khurrana has been named as the official ‘Fit India Icon’ by Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya.
The Union Sports Minister named the actor as the official ‘Fit India Icon’ at the inaugural ceremony on Sunday in New Delhi.
With this, the actor joins Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Fit India Movement, which aims to make fitness an integral part of daily life in India and to promote physical fitness as a fundamental aspect of our everyday lifestyle.
The Fit India Movement is dedicated to fostering a culture of fitness through various initiatives and events.
Ayushmaan, known for his impactful roles and strong fan following among the youth, is determined to inspire millions of Indians to embrace fitness with enthusiasm and dedication, encouraging people from all walks of life to prioritise their health and well-being.
Ayushmann stressed the importance of good health.
“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,” he said.
“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.

Khurrana’s latest work is “Dream Girl 2”. Directed by Raaj Shaandilyaa, the film was released in 2023 also starring Ananya Panday.
