SOHRAB KHUSHRUSHAHI

Celebrity fitness trainer and founder of SOHFIT

The likes of Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor swear by Sohrab Khushrushahi, whose 21-day and 40-day fitness challenges have become a rage on social media. But for the celebrity trainer, fitness is not a number game. “Many people treat fitness as a luxury, I treat it as a necessity,” he tells Bazaar India. In his younger days, the desire to look a certain way was one of Khushrushahi’s motivations to train, besides getting better at cricket, a sport he began playing at the age of 14. “I use to play cricket seriously at the U-14, U-16, and U-19 levels. Fitness became a part of my life and helped me get better at my sport,” he recalls. “People have begun understanding how important it is for them to get stronger, because it helps us live a better life.” Besides, fitness has many other benefits. It helps people do what they want even at an older age, says the 41-year-old. “I would still believe I can outrun most 20-year-olds, and for me, that’s important. I train because it makes me quicker, faster, and stronger,” he reiterates.
