Hrithik Roshan takes his fitness very seriously. So much so, that he hunts for local gyms whenever he’s shooting out of the city. The actor is currently in Bhuj shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker’s Mohenjo Daro. Before embarking on the schedule, Hrithik asked his team to scout for local gyms where he can work out every day. In Mohenjo Daro, Hrithik has several shirtless scenes and being a perfectionist he wanted to make sure he looked the part.

Instead of carrying instruments or a trainer with him, he chose to pick a gym that would have basic equipment which will help him stay fit. But he had no idea what was in store for him.

Hrithik stumbled upon a gym named Power Fitness where to his surprise the owner had put up posters of his ‘Defeat’ campaign that had gone viral a few weeks ago. A source reveals, “Jugal Jethi, who is the owner of the gym, was so inspired by the video that he put up posters of Hrithik’s campaign across the floor to motivate his clients. He had no idea that Hrithik would come visiting and drop by at the same gym. He was clearly bereft of words when Hrithik sat down and congratulated him for incorporating his Defeat campaign to inspire fitness enthusiasts.”

When asked to comment on this Hrithik says, “People are inspiring me back. We are all in it together...here for each other. Inspiring, pushing, learning and sharing... And, fitness is just one aspect of it. I am even more motivated after the enormous impact of HRX (his lifestyle brand) launch. This is just the beginning.”
