The fitness challenge is called #HumFitTohIndiaFit and is a great initiative by the Information and Broadcasting Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore on Tuesday in which he was doing push-ups which are apparently his fitness mantra. He urged people to do the same and share their videos of their secret to being fit. The minister tagged Hrithik Roshan, Virat Kohli, and Saina Nehwal to do the same. The tweet said
“#HumFitTohIndiaFit
