The challenge started after a fitness campaign launched by Union Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore went viral on the social media. Rathore took to his Twitter handle on Tuesday to urge the people towards adopting a fitter lifestyle. He also asked cricketer Virat Kohli and actor Hrithik Roshan to join a social media campaign that seeks to encourage people to keep fit. In reply, Virat Kohli posted a video of him doing exercise and asked his wife Anushka Sharma, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and MS Dhoni to take up the challenge further.
