New Delhi: The adorable B-town couple, Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra, participated in a unique morning walk on the occasion of World Heart Day. The star couple walked with other Mumbai couples on the fitness enthusiasts' favourite, Carter Road, to create awareness about women's heart health in India.
At the event, Raj and Shilpa, along with other couples took a pledge to walk together daily for 30 minutes as a simple yet valuable step to #ProtectHerHeart.
According to a study, 2 out of 4 Indian women are at risk of heart problems due to increasing weight. Keeping in mind the hectic lives we lead, women today need to adopt healthy weight management as one of the key ways to improve their heart health.

Research shows that walking daily can help in healthy weight management and thus helps reduce the risk of heart problems.
On the occasion, actress and fitness guru Shilpa Shetty Kundra said, “As women, we tend to overlook our health while caring for our families. I was surprised to learn that 2 out of 4 Indian women are at risk of heart problems due to increasing weight.
We are concerned about putting on weight, but don't realize how it's taking a toll on our hearts. This World Heart Day, I am grateful that this initiative is encouraging all of us to start going for a daily 30-minute walk as a beginning towards protecting our hearts!”
Business tycoon Raj Kundra was also found encouraging couples to work as a team to improve their health together.
“It's the small things that make a difference. If we make time to walk together daily for 30 minutes, it'll go a long way in protecting our hearts. Moreover, it's a great way to get some much-needed we-time into our busy lives! Just like Shilpa and I, we hope you also take the pledge to walk together and care for your heart health,” he said.
This morning walk of Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra is certainly a thing to be followed by all the couples out there.
