Varun Dhawan, Ayushmann Khurrana and 5 Other Actors Who Experimented With Their Fitness Routine

After staying indoors for months and adapting to the new changes that were introduced in our lives by the pandemic, everyone explored several new innovative ideas of keeping themselves entertained. While digital platforms becoming the new source of comfort entertainment and working from home the new norm, normal pre-pandemic fitness routines were also affected by the new lifestyle.
