It is International Yoga Day today and people around the world are celebrating this age-old tradition with utmost zeal and excitement. While Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated the day by performing yoga with over 51,000 people in Lucknow, our Bollywood celebs also made sure to wish people in their own unique way. The entire social media is filled with pictures and videos of people celebrating the Yoga Day all around the world. In fact, our Bollywood celebs also took to social media and shared their pictures performing yoga with beautiful messages.

Yoga is over 5000 years old and many of our B-Town beauties swear by this practice. While Shilpa Shetty is known as the Yogini of Bollywood, Malaika Arora credits yoga for her perfect body frame.
