"Of course, exercise is good for health, but it becomes even better when it is done together," Rahul Bose said during the event, emphasising the importance of community participation in fitness initiatives.

Bose further expressed his commitment to spreading the message of the 'Fit India Sundays on Cycle' initiative across the nation, adding, "As a community, this country is getting out on Sundays and getting active."

He highlighted the crucial role of sleep in maintaining good health, and said, "Sleep is the most important for good health. You can only sleep well when your conscience is clear, and it can only happen when we live a morally clear life."

The actor also took the opportunity to commend the growing support for rugby in India, particularly through initiatives like Khelo India.

"Over the last year, Khelo India has started supporting rugby... In rugby, women are performing even better than men at the Asian level," he noted.

The 'Fit India Sundays on Cycle' initiative is part of the government's efforts to encourage physical fitness and well-being across the nation.

By organising cycling events every Sunday, the initiative seeks to motivate people of all ages to integrate exercise into their daily routines, fostering a healthier and more active society.

Great initiative but I wish they'd focus more on creating safe cycling lanes first. Many Indian cities aren't cycle-friendly yet. The enthusiasm is there, but infrastructure needs to catch up.

Did this last week in Bangalore! The energy was amazing - people of all ages cycling together. Even saw some senior citizens keeping up with the young ones. More power to Fit India!

300 events across India is impressive! Hope this becomes a regular thing. My kids loved cycling with so many people - much better than being glued to screens all Sunday.

The rugby mention was interesting! Didn't know women were performing so well at Asian level. Good to see different sports getting attention through these fitness campaigns.
