Throwback: When Mohanlal's headstand pose went viral on International Yoga Day
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) As the world celebrates International Yoga Day today, let's take a look at the time Mohanlal, the "Complete Actor" of Mollywood, made headlines with his awe-inspiring headstand pose (Shirshasana) that took the internet by storm. 'To celebrate mind, body...' Back in 2017, Mohanlal shared a striking image on Facebook where he was seen balancing flawlessly in a Shirshasana. Known for his agility and body control even in his 50s, the image showcased not just his physical flexibility but also his deep commitment to the ancient discipline of yoga. Alongside the photo, he captioned, 'To celebrate mind, body and soul – practice Yoga. #Yogaday.' Kannappa - Official Kannada Trailer Netizens react - Even 22 year old me can't do this... The post instantly went viral, receiving massive attention from fans and fitness enthusiasts. With over 47,000 likes, thousands of comments, and countless shares, the photo quickly became a motivational symbol of strength and balance. One comment read, "22 വയസ് ആയ എനിക്ക് പോലും ഇത് പോലെ ചെയ്യാൻ പറ്റില്ല എന്നിട്ട് ഏട്ടന് ഇ പ്രയത്തില്ലും ഇത് ചെയ്യാൻ കഴിയുന്നു ലാലേട്ടാ നിങ്ങൾ annuu super star..... Waiting 4 villain. .." Another one wrote, "ഈ പ്രായത്തിലും ഇങ്ങനെയൊക്കെ കാണിക്കണമെങ്കിൽ ആളുടെ പേര് മോഹൻലാൽ എന്നായിരിക്കണം.(To be able to pull off something like this even at this age, the person's name has to be Mohanlal.)" A fitness icon at any age Mohanlal's dedication to fitness is no secret in the industry. Directors and co-actors have often praised his youthful energy and ability to perform physically demanding roles with ease. In 2021, Mohanlal once again used Yoga Day as an opportunity to advocate for mental and physical well-being. That year, he shared a peaceful photo of himself in meditation, encouraging fans to embrace yoga as part of their daily routine. His caption read, 'Practice Yoga for a healthy life #InternationalDayOfYoga #YogaDay.' These moments show that for Mohanlal, yoga is not just an occasional display but a way of life. Whether performing a difficult headstand or sitting in calm reflection, he continues to inspire millions to find balance, discipline, and peace through yoga. Work front On the work front, Mohanlal was last seen in 'Thudarum' which earned 3 stars out of 5 from ETimes, and our review read, "Jakes Bejoy's music elevates the scenes, making a real impact in the storytelling. Shaji Kumar's cinematography is excellent and it is perfectly coordinated with the edits by Shafeeque VB and Nishadh Yusuf. Their collective work lay the ground for the mood of the film. Tharun, whose last film Saudi Vellakka won a National Awards, could have done better to have created a more subtle story; this very much has an '80s-'90s feel. For Mohanlal fans, his raw magnetism might be exciting, but with its loud and overwritten scenes, the acting lacks nuance all around."
