Who says ageing means slowing down? Veteran filmmaker, Rakesh Roshan, now 75, just dropped a workout video on his social media that’s turning heads, and for all the right reasons. In the clip, Roshan is seen lifting weights, boxing with power, and lunging with impressive ease, sans any dramatic editing or special effect. At 75, it’s just pure grit, discipline, and some seriously inspiring moves. He added the caption,“It’s not about being healthy — it’s about feeling your best every day” along with the video.
And just like that, the internet took notice.
Check out the video here:
Friends, fans and followers soon crowded the comments section, applauding the filmmaker. Among them was his son, actor Hrithik Roshan, who couldn’t hold back his pride, commenting, “Uff damn! Too good, Papa!” Actor Suniel Shetty also showed love, while action director Sham Kaushal commented, “Kya baat. So inspiring. Rakeshji,” and filmmaker Goldie Behl added a warm, “Awesome, Guddu uncle.”
But this isn’t just about a viral moment or a trending reel. It’s about a man who’s been through throat cancer diagnosis back in 2018, and came out stronger, literally. Roshan previously opened up about how fitness became the pillar of his recovery. Now, his journey is serving as a reminder that vitality doesn’t come with an age limit.
Working out at 70+? It’s possible, but with the right plan.
Quoting an expert, Indian Express reported, “Intense physical training at 70 is certainly realistic, but it must be individualised. Rakesh Roshan’s video is a great example of what’s possible with consistent training, medical clearance, and professional supervision. For older adults recovering from serious health conditions like cancer, the goal isn’t just intensity. It is about sustainability, safety, and smart progression.”
