Prime Minister Narendra Modi this morning tweeted his response to Virat Kohli’s fitness challenge. “Challenge accepted,” he wrote in reply to the cricketer, promising to share his own fitness video soon. Besides PM Modi, Virat Kohli had also tagged wife Anushka Sharma and former Indian cricket captain MS Dhoni in the campaign started by Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore earlier this week.
The fitness challenge – #HumFitTohIndiaFit – was started by Information and Broadcasting Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Tuesday. Mr Rathore, an Olympic medalist, tweeted a video doing push-ups and urged people to shoot a video of their “fitness mantra” and share it. He tagged Virat Kohli, badminton champion Saina Nehwal and actor Hrithik Roshan for the challenge #HumFitTohIndiaHit.
Last evening, the cricket captain posted a video doing 20 spider planks and carrying on the challenge by tagging three others.
