Shilpa Shetty- Use Stairs At Home For Exercise

The 44-year-old fitness freak recently posted a video on Instagram, asking people to exercise at least four times a day. Replying to Hindustan Times on the reason behind this video, she said, "We underestimate the power of immunity. While we’re saying we should wash our hands and do external things, we need to strengthen ourselves from within too. Coming from the school of yoga, I really think internal cleansing happens only with pranayama. People sitting at home don’t know what to do, they’re bored. You make it an activity, and even use the stairs at home. I didn’t plan the video, literally woke up and went out saying, ‘Let’s do something which is interesting’. Physical activity helps you a lot, it’s a domino effect in a good way."

Katrina Kaif- Exploring The Interests

Well, the fact that you can explore your interests while practicing precautions is just amazing, isn't it? Fitness is a priority for most of us, and so is it for Katrina. But along with inspiring people with her quick workout video on Instagram, she is also exploring the intricacies of music - she is learning guitar. Thanks Kat, for the inspiration!
