World Health Day 2026: Here’s How Bollywood Prioritises Health As Need & Not Want - Akshay Kumar & Others

There's no lie when they say health is wealth, and Bollywood is the best example when it comes to proving the thought. From Akshay Kumar, Shilpa Shetty, Tiger Shroff to Gurmeet Choudhary and others, here's observing World Health Day 2026 through the Bollywood lens.

Akshay Kumar: It's no hidden secret that Akshay Kumar wakes up around 4 in the morning, starting his day early to maximise productivity and health. The actor has often spoken about being an early bird, and has also stated that he has his last meal before sunset, around 6 in the evening. Time and again, the actor has urged the audience to have their last meal before sunset, stating that they'll face fewer health problems.

Shilpa Shetty: Shilpa Shetty is the flagbearer of being a yoga enthusiast, often credited for popularising it through her 'Shilpa's yoga' series. Very often, the actress shares mini-tutorials and challenges on her social media, including YouTube, offering guided sessions to yoga lovers.

Malaika Arora: For Malaika Arora, aerial yoga is where movement becomes art. The actress is a regular practitioner of aerial yoga and often takes to her social media to share snippets from her yoga sessions. She primarily uses it to stay agile, and turns to it when she's not in the mood for the ultimate training sesh.

Gurmeet Choudhary: Gurmeet Choudhary, known for his complete dedication towards fitness, has completely cut down sugar and has once revealed that he hasn't eaten a samosa for over fourteen years, despite it being his favourite. The actor never misses a workout, and often inclines towards kickboxing.

John Abraham: John Abraham continues to maintain his solid physique and adds to it with a vegetarian diet, including high plant-based protein. His meals focus on protein-rich legumes, whole grains and fresh veggies, reinforcing his belief that ethical food choices can still offer long-lasting strength.

Tiger Shroff: When it comes to health and fitness, Tiger Shroff has carved his own niche. The actor's athletic foundation is built on a mix of traditional martial arts, professional-level gymnastics and sports. Tiger has trained in Kalarippayattu, Kung Fu, and Krav Maga and also reportedly has a black belt in Taekwondo.

These actors prove that health and fitness are not trends, but a wealthy lifestyle choice!
