Jackie Shroff Backs PM Modi’s Fit India Drive At ‘Sunday On Cycle’ Event

Actor Jackie Shroff joined the ‘Sunday on Cycle’ event organised by the Sports Authority of India and praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Fit India initiative.

The actor participated in the cycling rally alongside Union Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports, Raksha Nikhil Khadse.

Speaking to the media, Shroff urged children and parents to adopt healthy habits.

“The PM has taken the initiative of Fit India, all children should follow it. As long as you have the strength in your legs, you will move forward. If you have the strength in your legs, you will move forward. The people who have come here today, apply this to your children as well. Every day tell them to play on the laptop, computer, phone but also do something for your body as well. Keep your body healthy, teach your children good things. So that you can move forward and make your nation strong,” he said.

Jackie Shroff further advised people to include simple practices like yoga, healthy eating, and cycling in their routine.

“If you are fit, you will be fine. If you are young, you will be fine. Do exercise, eat healthy food, keep your mind calm, do yoga, and do cycling. Start cycling every Sunday. There is no traffic in the morning. It is important to do cycling every Sunday. The feet should be strong. If the foundation of the body, the feet are strong, then the building above will be fine. Also, eat the bananas of the village,” he added.

Endorsing PM Modi’s vision, the actor remarked, “He is doing the right thing. If you have a healthy body, then everything is fine. This is not Jackie. This is a body.”

The ‘Sunday on Cycle’ programme took place at Sanjay Gandhi National Park, where Shroff and Khadse flagged off the rally.

For the past year, the initiative has been carried out nationwide every Sunday under the Central Government and the Sports Ministry.
