A day after Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli accepted Sports Minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore's fitness challenge and nominated Narendra Modi in his video post, the prime minister has accepted his challenge.

"Challenge accepted, Virat! I will be sharing my own #FitnessChallenge video soon. @imVkohli #HumFitTohIndiaFit," Modi said on twitter.

Rathore, one of Indias first individual Olympic medalists, had kicked off #HumFitTohIndiaFit campaign on Twitter and had asked people to take a video of their "fitness mantra" and share it in a bid to make people aware of the necessity of fitness.

Rathore, in a self-made video posted on Twitter, had challenged Kohli, actor Hrithik Roshan and badminton ace Saina Nehwal to join in.
