Get fit Shahrukh style with Bollywood-based workout

Named for the Hindi word for world, Doonya is the brainchild of two fitness instructors who tapped their heritage for inspiration. It draws on the infectious song and dance numbers popularised by the prolific Hindi-film industry based in Mumbai, nicknamed Bollywood, where movies usually feature intricate love sagas and plot twists.

“Our parents are from India so it was a way of connecting with our roots,” said Priya Pandya, a New Jersey native who created the workout with Mississippian Kajal Desai. “We grew up learning dance. We both wanted to bring Bollywood dance to the world.”
