Nikita Dutta who rose to fame with Kabir Singh has been unstoppable ever since then. She was last seen alongside Abhishek Bachchan in the film The Big Bull.

Along with her acting skills, Nikita is also known for having one of the fittest bodies in Bollywood, her social media is a perfect example of how fit and athletic the actress is. She keeps sharing her workout, yoga videos and pictures which her fans find very motivating.

The beauteous actress has also been actively participating in marathons for years now. This year too on the occasion of Independence Day, the actress will be seen running a 10k virtual marathon. The actress is all geared up and excited to be a part of this Marathon as it’ll be her first one post her covid recovery.

Nikita who recently recovered from covid has been prepping for the marathon and is excited to be a part of it especially as it’ll be her first one after covid. Talking more about it Nikita said, ” I’m running such a long distance after January 2020. Back in January, I remember when I was supposed to run the Mumbai marathon, I ended up injuring my leg because I was training for Rocket Gang at the same time, so I couldn’t run and then of course the lockdown happened. Post the lockdown I again resumed dancing so I couldn’t run any long distance and then while shooting the entire covid situation happened again where I also tested positive. So post that I’m trying to recover and get back. I still feel I’m not back to what I used to be before 2020 where I could easily run a 21 K.

So this time I am challenging myself to what my present condition is and also I just feel Independence Day for a lot of people is just wishing Happy Independence Day, having a tricolour and enjoying a holiday or doing something about it. I just thought it’s a great way to bring in Independence Day because I just feel when it comes to running I associate it with a very liberating feeling, it makes me feel free and on top of the world. So I thought to sign up for this marathon to start the day on a fabulous note. Fingers crossed for tomorrow, because honestly, I’m a bit nervous, hoping that I can pull it off.”

She’ll be next seen on screen opposite Aditya Seal in Rocket Gang which is a Dance Horror Comedy.
