Anshuka shared a video of herself and Deepika doing Yoga's Buddy Boat Pose or Paripurna Navasana on Instagram on Saturday. She captioned the post, "Here's to all our 4am and 6am Yoga sessions full of beautiful practices, all the positive energy and laughs Deepika Padukone. Making "Alisha" come alive, flowing and glowing riding the happy [waves] of #Gehraiyaan."

The video begins with Deepika and Anshuka sitting on a yoga mat and then doing the Buddy Boat Pose or Paripurna Navasana. It is a form of partner yoga pose that is beneficial in toning and strengthening the abdominal muscles, improving the balance of the body and digestion, aiding in stress relief and improving confidence in the couples practising it. It is also called one of the easy couples' yoga poses.

To do this pose, Anshuka and Deepika sat opposite each other on the yoga mat and held each other's hands. Then, the two joined their feet and raised them in the air to form a triangle. While doing this, the two divas stretched their hands and balanced their bodies on their buttocks to nail the Boat Pose.
