Apart from Milind, Ankita also took to Instagram and documented her yoga day fitness regime where she can be seen doing stretching exercises. “Yoga is a flow, much like life itself. We cannot rush it. It’s all about learning, breathing, and living each moment at a time. I hope you find your flow, in yoga and in life. Happy international yoga day,” she wrote. Apart from the lovely couple, several Bollywood stars have been posting motivational posts on International Yoga Day while urging fans to develop an interest in fitness, especially during the pandemic. Milind Soman who is often seen advocating the need to maintain a healthy mind and soul, previously took to his Instagram handle to tell his fans and followers to not forget the basics of working out. "Even when I say I have no time in the entire day to exercise, I can still spare a minute! And most times that’s all I need", he wrote in the caption of the post. The actor noted that he would push himself to perform better each day. He wrote, "how many in 60secs? No excuses of no time, no space, no equipment, being able to move your own body weight is good enough. Just keep trying to increase the number of push-ups in a minute." He also uploaded a video of himself doing pushups speedily.
