Throwing it back to 2016, one of the most fun internet moments was when actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra joined yoga guru Baba Ramdev on stage at his yoga camp.
The occasion was not just another celebrity meet-and-greet program. It marked a celebration of wellness and the joy that comes coupled with yoga. Popular as a flagbearer of fitness and healthy living, Shilpa presented Baba Ramdev with her book, ‘The Great Indian Diet’. Later on her social media platforms, she shared how “thrilled” she was to receive his blessings.

Over the years, Shilpa Shetty has consistently made sure to use her public appearances to advocate for health, wellness, and mindful living.
Even today, clips and photos from that day continue to circulate online. They continue to remind fans of a time when Bollywood glamour met ancient wellness traditions.
