Sonu Sood, who is known to be a fitness freak, was named the brand ambassador for the Fit India Movement in New Delhi yesterday. The Government of India initiative aims to work towards making the country healthier.
The Dabangg actor’s role will be to inspire people to get fit — specially those from the middle and working class, who are under pressure to earn a living and neglect their health in the process.
Every month, Sonu will travel to various places to spread the message. He says, “I’ll go to major metros as well as other towns to make people aware about the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle and why one should dedicate a couple of hours to oneself. The idea is to make them motivate others as well.”
