Isn't it truly commendable?


Well, Akshay himself is an epitome of fitness. Even at the age of 51, the actor is as fitter than many of his contemporaries in the movie business.


International Day of Yoga or simply Yoga Day is marked every year on June 21. It was unanimously declared by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).


Yoga is important and beneficial to maintain a healthy mind, body and soul. Several B-Town celebs practise yoga such as Shilpa Shetty, Vidya Malvade, Malaika Arora among various others.
