How Amitabh Bachchan stays fit at 82

Earlier, in an interview with Humans of Bombay, Amitabh Bachchan's wellness trainer Vrindaa Mehta revealed the actor's unwavering dedication to fitness. She shared, “If Amitabh Bachchan can make time to exercise, normal people can too. The mindset is, when you know something is good for you, you just do it. It's not about comfort, it's not about not having time... If Mr. Bachchan can make time to exercise, regular people can of course, take out time to exercise.”

Talking about his fitness routine, Vrindaa added, "My sessions with Amit ji are more about breath work. We start off with basic breath exercises and move on to pranayams, and basic yoga stretches. Mindset... He's the father of it all."

Wellness trainer Shivohaam, who also works with Amitabh, highlighted the actor's remarkable commitment to fitness. "There are times when we have to tell him, 'Let's not train right now, it's not ideal for you.' The point is, he does take out the time, whether it's morning, afternoon, or evening, or even between meetings because he knows it's important," shared Shivohaam.
