Top 10 Fittest Indian Actresses

India is one of the strongest countries in the world, with even stronger potential in the future. As a general goal, the Health Fitness Revolution aims to go into every country in the world and every segment of society to pick its leaders and heroes in healthy lifestyle in order to create strong ambassadors who can be a great example for their followers, fans, voters, students, and employees. After finishing the Fittest Male Indian Celebrities and Fittest Female Indian Celebrities lists, we are now going into greater specifics and doing the top 10 fittest Indian actresses.

In the words of Samir Becic, “You have more control over your body than you think- you can control, manage, or completely avoid 60-70% of known chronic conditions with physical fitness, healthy nutrition, and mental, social, and spiritual balance.”

To make this Top 10 List, we first researched all the available data on Indian actresses online and narrowed it down to 50. Then, we did more extensive research to narrow it down to 20, and then finally 10. We used a combination of interviews, internet, library, industry literature, and Samir Becic’s knowledge of over 33 years in athletics coupled with his experience as 4 times Number 1 Fitness Trainer in the World.

The list is in no particular order. Here are the Top 10 from Health Fitness Revolution and author of the book ReSYNC Your Life Samir Becic:
