Other than acting on-screen, the current generation of Bollywood actors is also aggressively following their favorite activities, including indulging in sports to keep themselves fit and healthy. So it’s only fair that the superstars get a few well-deserved breaks from their hectic shooting schedule, and what better way to do that than indulging in the sport they love?
Taapsee Pannu: She rose to fame with a spectacular performance in Pink. This actress prefers playing squash for 40-45 minutes daily to hitting the gym. She is an ace at the game and has beaten her co-stars.
Ranbir Kapoor: One of the biggest heartthrobs of Indian cinema, Ranbir Kapoor, has been spotted flaunting his football skills in many charity games and domestic tournaments. He admits to having taken a fondness for the game from a very young age, and he essays the role of the forward.
Deepika Padukone: Deepika, the daughter of renowned badminton player Prakash Padukone, has not only excelled in badminton at a national level, but she has also played baseball at a state level. With her exceptional skills, it’s no surprise that she enjoys playing badminton in her free time.
John Abraham: One of the most high-profile football lovers in the country, John has represented India A-division as a center-forward. He co-owns Northeast United FC, a football team that plays in the Indian Super League.
Amir Khan: Many fans do not know that Aamir Khan played state-level tennis, as his father, Takir Hussain, mentioned in an interview. He had one foot on the national scene until he shifted his focus to acting.
Akshay Kumar: There’s a reason why Akshay Kumar looks natural when he pulls off stunts and fighting scenes in his movies. It’s because he’s a black belt holder in taekwondo and has also learned the ancient art of Muay Thai. Not only martial arts but ‘Akki’ is also adept at basketball, swimming, and kickboxing, which help him keep in shape.
We sure need to take some inspiration from these stars!
