The veteran star often shares his fitness and workout videos on social media.

A few days back, he shared an inspiring video from his physiotherapy session, and gave a glimpse of his commitment to health and fitness. He wrote along with the clip, "Friends, with your good wishes and his blessings, I am working hard to be fit and fine. Yoga, exercise and now physiotherapy.

Earlier, he had flaunted his impressive leg muscles and a physique that could rival men half his age, proving that age is no barrier for him. The iconic star continues to defy time, staying committed to his fitness journey through a mix of regular workouts and physiotherapy.
