Hrithik flexes with Own Your Body in star powered wellness push
MUMBAI: When it comes to health, Hrithik Roshan has always been the poster boy for balance, discipline, and a chiselled dose of motivation. Now, the superstar is lending that aura of fitness to Own Your Body (OYB), a progressive nutraceutical brand founded by Rama Krishna Reddy, Ravi Krishna Reddy, and Srinivas Reddy.
In a move that fuses Bollywood muscle with modern nutrition, OYB has appointed Roshan as its official brand ambassador, hoping his pull among millennials, professionals, and fitness-conscious Indians will make wellness not just aspirational but accessible.
“Consumers today are more conscious than ever, but often face nutraceutical products that lack transparency or consistency,” said OYB co-founder & CEO Rama Krishna Reddy. “At OYB, we’re filling this gap with safe, natural, and science-backed solutions. Hrithik was the natural choice, his discipline, balanced lifestyle, and mass appeal resonate strongly with our mission.”
Roshan, never one to shy away from a fitness philosophy, added his own spin: “Health, for me, has always been about balance, discipline, and making small, right choices every day. That’s why I connected with Own Your Body. Together, we want to inspire people to focus on what they put into their body as the first step towards real fitness.”
OYB’s portfolio already covers the essentials of modern wellness: stress relievers, energy boosters, and daily health supplements made with 100 per cent natural, vegan, and organic ingredients. With no added sugar, gluten, or artificial fillers, the formulations are developed by leading AYUSH scientists and tested in NABL-accredited laboratories, ensuring safety and consistency in an often-crowded market.
The brand’s offerings are available nationwide through leading e-commerce platforms, quick commerce services, and its own direct-to-consumer website. But the real flex begins now: OYB plans to roll out digital-first campaigns with Roshan and expand into new wellness categories, hoping to become the go-to label for mindful nutrition in India.
For a brand that urges consumers to Own Your Body, adding Bollywood’s most disciplined body to its corner may just be the winning formula. After all, if Hrithik says wellness starts with what you consume, India is bound to listen.

MUMBAI: If growth is on the menu, profitability seems to have taken a brief detour. Sapphire Foods India reported a steady rise in topline for FY26, even as rising costs weighed on profitability. Revenue from operations grew to Rs 3,125 crore for the year ended March 31, 2026, up from Rs 2,882 crore in FY25.
