Ayushmann Khurrana has been named the official Fit India Icon by Union Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya. The actor joins PM 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.

Ayushmann Khurrana said, “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. Good health empowers us to do anything. A healthy individual is capable, confident, and resilient—even when the world around them feels uncertain. 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. I sincerely thank the Honourable Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji for this incredible initiative. I also extend my gratitude to Union Sports Minister Dr. Mansukh Bhai for his creative ways in advancing this national movement. I am deeply honoured to be named a Fit India Icon. Finally, I offer my blessings to the younger generation and to our great nation—a blessing of long life - Ayushman Bhava."
