International Yoga Day 2025: Zee TV Stars Embrace 'One Earth, One Health' Theme

International Yoga Day 2025: As the world gears up to celebrate the 11th International Day of Yoga, the 2025 theme — “Yoga for One Earth, One Health” — serves as a powerful reminder of the deep connection between our individual well-being and the health of the planet. Rooted in ancient wisdom, yoga continues to offer a path toward inner balance and conscious living. This year, Zee TV actors like Anushka Merchande from Saru, Sehaj Rajput from Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile, Vijayendra Kumeria from Jagriti – Ek Nayi Subah and Simaran Kaur from Jamai No. 1 reflect on how yoga influences their physical, mental, and emotional wellness, while also nudging them toward more eco-conscious, mindful ways of life.

Simaran Kaur, who essays the role of Riddhi in Zee TV's Jamai No. 1, said,

“For me, yoga has become more than just fitness — it’s a bridge between personal wellness and planetary well-being. I’ve always been passionate about staying fit, but earlier it was all about cardio and strength training. Over time, I realised that true wellness is holistic — it’s about aligning body, mind, and nature. Now, my mornings begin with 10–15 minutes of meditation and deep breathing — often by an open window, letting in the sounds and air of the outside world. It helps me start the day grounded and grateful. Yoga has taught me that being mindful isn’t limited to the mat — it extends into how we consume, how we interact with the environment, and how we treat others. After all, a healthy planet begins with a healthy mind and body — and yoga brings us closer to both.”

Anushka Merchande, who essays the role of Anika in Zee TV’s Saru, said,

“Every Sunday at sunrise, my sisters and I roll out our yoga mats — a ritual that started years ago and has become a tradition we deeply cherish. Between stretches, laughter, and quiet reflection, we reconnect — not just with ourselves, but with each other. I still remember our first session — following a YouTube video on our living room TV, confusing our lefts and rights, falling over more than we balanced. Over time, we moved to a nearby park, barefoot on the grass under open skies. Being surrounded by trees and the sounds of nature made the experience feel more peaceful. It was also about feeling connected to ourselves, to each other, and the world around us. This Yoga Day, we’ll begin with 12 rounds of Surya Namaskar, followed by a short gratitude meditation, and writing down one intention each — something we want to carry forward with love and mindfulness.”

Vijayendra Kumeria, who essays the role of Suraj in Zee TV's Jagriti-Ek Nayi Subah, said,

“On International Yoga Day, I always find myself reflecting on how deeply yoga has shaped me — not just as an actor, but as a person. I remember waking up before sunrise during intense shoot schedules, just to steal a few moments on the mat. Those quiet stretches, deep breaths, and mindful silences became my sanctuary, no matter where I was. Yoga hasn’t just strengthened my body — it’s helped me become more present, more compassionate, and more aware of my connection with the planet. I truly believe that the peace we cultivate within has the power to heal beyond us. Let’s embrace yoga not just as a practice, but as a way of living — for our health and for the Earth we call home.”

Sehaj Rajput, who essays the role of Unnati in Zee TV’s Jaane Anjaane Hum Mile, said,

“Yoga has always been my anchor — it helps me stay centred amidst the chaos of everyday life. But this year’s theme, ‘Yoga for One Earth, One Health,’ made me think beyond just personal well-being. It reminded me that our health is deeply connected to the world around us. These days, I often practice yoga outdoors — whether it’s in my building’s garden or on the terrace. There’s something incredibly grounding about breathing in sync with nature. It’s also made me more conscious in everyday choices — from cutting down on plastic to switching to sustainable fabrics and eating cleaner. Yoga is not just a form of exercise; it’s a mindset, a lifestyle. If each of us embraces even a small part of that mindfulness, we can create a healthier self and a healthier planet — one breath at a time.”
