COLORS’ actors share their perspectives on International Yoga Day: From mental balance to inner peace

Nyrraa M Banerji who is a contestant on COLORS’ ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 13’ says, “I was introduced to yoga by my grandfather, and it changed my life drastically. It made a huge difference to my mental state, and I had a lot of healthy space in mind that I could assign to things that matter. If you think about life, it is essentially the time you spend breathing, and yoga is all about taking control of your breath, stance, and existence. Practicing yoga in the morning sets a great tone for the day. I’m mentally agile and I don’t get overwhelmed easily because of the sense of balance I feel after I’m done with my asanas. There’s no reason to skip yoga because it doesn’t involve heavy pieces of equipment and is not limited to a particular place. Also, I’ve never met anyone who regretted picking up yoga to stay fit. I wish everyone a happy International Yoga Day!”

Shiv Thakare who is a contestant on COLORS’ ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi 13’ says, “Wishing everyone a blissful Yoga Day! Guided by Lord Shiva’s eternal wisdom, I have witnessed first-hand the profound impact of yoga. The strength, flexibility, and posture that yoga instills surpasses any gym workout. It was one of the initial steps in my fitness journey. Today, I implore all of you to break free from a sedentary lifestyle and dedicate just 15 minutes to practicing simple asanas. This small commitment paves the way for immense physical and mental well-being. May we all discover harmony, strength, and inner peace on this sacred path of yoga.”

Monalisa who plays the role of Yamini in COLORS’ ‘Bekaaboo’ says, “Yoga, as the holy Bhagavad Gita proclaims, is a profound journey of self-discovery and self-realization. I resonate deeply with this philosophy. As a fitness enthusiast, I firmly believe that nurturing our mental well-being is just as vital as maintaining physical health. Yoga, an ancient discipline, empowers us to find inner harmony. Through mindful breath, stretching, and connection with our bodies, we unlock a transformative path aligned with our purpose. I have personally witnessed how yoga becomes a lifeline for those juggling multiple roles. The incredible benefits of simple asanas and conscious breathing patterns are truly remarkable. On this Yoga Day, let us prioritize self-care and embrace the transformative power of yoga.”

Hitesh Bharadwaj who plays the role of Ekam in COLORS’ ‘Udaariyaan’ says, “Taking time for yoga is the ultimate act of self-care. It’s a hassle-free workout that ensures both fitness and flexibility. What fascinates me about yoga is that outward movement brings inner stillness. I highly recommend it to anyone with a doctor’s clearance. It’s incredible how our ancient science holds the secret to mental and physical well-being. For those who may have missed their fitness goals, here’s a fresh opportunity to start anew. Let us all strive for harmony and thrive together on this beautiful journey of wellness.”

Anchal Sahu who plays the role of Parineet in COLORS’ ‘Parineetii’ says, “On this International Yoga Day, let’s embrace the magnificent union of mind, body, and spirit through the art of yoga. Yoga serves as a beautiful reminder that our breath is the anchor that guides us, enabling us to gracefully navigate life’s challenges. It has been my source of grounding and focus. Upon completing my yoga practice, I feel a profound shift in energy within me. I can sense my troubles melting away, stretch by stretch. May we all find solace and rejuvenation on this auspicious day, embracing the transformative power of yoga.”
