Actor and fitness enthusiast Shilpa Shetty has often inspired fans with her dedication to health and wellness, but the actress recently revealed that her relationship with yoga began not out of passion, but necessity. Speaking during the 12th International Yoga Day celebrations in Haryana, Shilpa shared how a painful battle with spondylosis led her to discover the transformative benefits of yoga.
