Soha Ali Khan Turns Diwali Safai Into a Gym Workout, Shares Unique Fitness Hack for Festive Cleaning

November 7, 2026

Mumbai: Actress Soha Ali Khan has come up with a fun fitness idea for Diwali, combining her festive cleaning routine with her gym training. The actress shared a video of her unusual workout session on Instagram, showing how everyday cleaning activities can also become part of a fitness routine.

In the video, Soha can be seen holding two cleaning cloths against a gym mirror while performing leg exercises. She also wipes the mirror in circular motions while working on her biceps.

Taking the idea further, the actress places the cloths under her feet and moves across the gym floor, effectively mopping it while strengthening her legs.

She continues cleaning the floor while exercising both her arms and legs. By the end of the session, Soha appears completely exhausted and lies down on the gym floor.

Sharing the video, the Rang De Basanti actress wrote, “Who knew gym training could also double up as diwali safai? While I’m building muscle to burn the excess Diwali calories, I’m squeezing in a little festive cleaning too… mirrors, floors, the works! Please do (sic).”

This is not the first time Soha has combined her gym routine with Diwali cleaning. Last year, the actress shared a similar glimpse of her pre-Diwali spring-cleaning session at the gym.

She had written, “Just a little pre- Diwali spring cleaning at the gym… wiping down the mirrors, mopping the floors .. and busting some calories! Who needs a hoover when you have this range of motion ? (Laughing and dancing emoji) #diwaliready #functionalfitness.”

Soha frequently shares fitness-related and motivational posts on her social media account, encouraging her followers to stay active.

Soha Ali Khan Shares Thoughts on Strength and Mobility

On Wednesday, Soha shared another fitness-related post in which she spoke about the importance of mobility and everyday physical movements.

She and a friend took part in a mobility challenge that involved getting down on the floor and standing back up without using their hands. The actress said the exercise turned out to be an eye-opener for her.

“But here’s something worth thinking about: How often do we actually train our bodies to perform movements that matter in everyday life? As we grow older, we naturally tend to lose some of these abilities if we don’t actively work on maintaining them. And that’s when seemingly simple everyday movements can become increasingly difficult,” Soha wrote.
