Malaika Arora's fitness is for the world to see. It is no secret that the actor and model loves to stay fit and active; she exercises every single day. Since she mostly loves to do yoga, Malaika is often seen walking in and out of her yoga studio.

Then, she also stretched one leg out to the front while keeping the other pointed at the ceiling.
