The Rise of Fitness Culture in Bollywood

In Bollywood, Indian movie stars are known for their fitness and physique. Traditionally, actors in their 20s and 30s had more average bodies, but when they reached their 50s, they transformed into shredded superheroes. This change in physique has had a profound impact on Indian culture, motivating people across the country to prioritize fitness. As a result, the fitness and supplements industry in India has seen significant growth, with fitness influencers gaining millions of followers on social media. This trend opens up new investment opportunities in the Indian fitness market.
