If you are a social media buff, you will surely know about the ‘HumFitTohIndiaFit’ campaign which has turned out to be the latest trend on the internet. Introduced by ex-Olympian and minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, Rajyavardhan Rathore, the challenge has seen a plethora of celebrities taking part in it and sharing their fitness videos. From Virat Kohli to Anushka Sharma, from Hrithik Roshan to Saina Nehwal, eminent personalities are sportingly playing their part to motivate India to get fitter.
The latest to join the thread was Bollywood Diva Deepika Padukone. However, things went horribly wrong for the actress and we will tell you how.
Deepika, who was nominated by Olympic Silver medallist PV Sindhu, took to Twitter to upload a boomerang video of her running.
I am extremely passionate about fitness…and my new obsession…RUNNING!🏃🏽♀️Thank You @pvsindhu1 !Challenge accepted! I now challenge @M_Raj03 @imranirampal @aditigolf kyunki#HumFitTohIndiaFit pic.twitter.com/dMh9USxgLp

But no one has it easy on Twitter, right? As soon as she posted the video, the Twitterati pointed out the flaws in it and questioned her for ‘cheating’.
While some of them asked her to concentrate on the ‘fitness challenge’ rather than the camera, the others highlighted the fact that she had posted an old video of hers which doesn’t count.

While being a celebrity has its advantages, you end up being monitored by the Twitter hawkeye. And DP, better luck next time.
