So inspiring to see celebrity couples promoting fitness! Rakul and Jackky make yoga look so effortless. Maybe I should finally unroll that yoga mat gathering dust in my cupboard 😅 #NewMotivation

While I appreciate their fitness journey, I wish they'd talk more about affordable fitness options for middle-class Indians. Not everyone can afford personal trainers or gym memberships. Yoga is great but needs more practical demonstrations.

Jackky's weight loss journey is truly remarkable! From 150kg to 75kg - that's some serious dedication. More power to this couple for making fitness their priority ❤️

Good initiative by the government to involve celebrities in fitness campaigns. But I hope they also focus on creating more public parks and open spaces for exercise in all cities. Mumbai especially needs this!

Their yoga poses are perfect! As someone who's been practicing yoga for 10 years, I can tell they've put in serious work. Maybe they should start a YouTube channel with beginner tutorials? Would love to learn from them!

While celebrity fitness stories are motivational, we must remember that most Indians struggle with basic nutrition first. Maybe next initiative should be about affordable healthy eating? Just saying...
