MUMBAI:

Shah Rukh Khan may be the King of Bollywood, but when it comes to health, Salman rules. Salman Khan has been voted as the number one role model of health in the entertainment category by the public of India, in a one-of-its-kind survey conducted by the Complete Wellbeing magazine.

The survey was conducted by one of the global market research company for Complete Wellbeing magazine to identify India’s role models of health and happiness across entertainment, business, sports and politics. Men and women between 25-45 years of age across eight metros were asked to name their role models from these fields.

In the entertainment category, India’s choice for its role model of health is Salman Khan with 26 per cent votes coming his way. Shah Rukh Khan is the next choice at 24 per cent votes. The public has voted for Amitabh Bachchan instead of Hrithik Roshan or Akshay Kumar to make him the role model of health at number three.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan received maximum votes from her home state, Bengaluru. Abhishek Bachchan is Ahmedabad’s idol for health.

Ahmedabad has also voted heavily for Ajay Devgan and Katrina Kaif.

John Abraham’s fantastic physique doesn’t seem to inspire a lot of Indians as he figures at number 10 for health with four per cent votes.

The top three role models of happiness from entertainment are the same as health, except that Shah Rukh knocked Salman off the number one position. Amitabh maintained his post at number three. In the fourth place is Akshay Kumar securing 12 per cent votes with only one per cent depriving him of the third place.

Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan share the ninth slot. — Agencies
