Mirror (November 5) had informed earlier that over a thousand women would be attempting a new fitness record on Sunday evening. Well, 1900 women turned up in Bandra Kurla Complex and 1623 successfully planked for 60 seconds to enter the Guinness Book of World Records, surpassing Hong Kong's 2011 record of 1323 men and women planking simultaneously.

“We were excited but sure that we would make a record,“ exulted Kalki Koechlin, who was a part of the endeavour, along with Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, Olympic medal-winning wrestler Sakshi Malik and fitness expert Sucheta Pal. “If even 10 per cent of us had failed, we wouldn't have qualified. But we did, that's girl power!“ Jacqueline had earlier told Mirror that the movement was to inspire confidence in young girls, encouraging them to express their inherent beliefs, follow their instincts and find their best self. “Women can be who they are, unapologetically!“ she had asserted.
