Sushmita Sen and Daughter Alisah Set Fitness Goals 

Sushmita Sen shares an inspiring core workout with daughter Alisah, proving she’s “stronger than yesterday” at 50.

Sushmita Sen’s Session

Can you out-train your younger self at 50? If you are Sushmita Sen, the answer is a definitive yes, provided you have the right “inspired gang” in your corner.

The former Miss Universe recently took to social media to showcase a grueling core session, but it wasn’t the difficulty of the exercise that caught the public eye—it was her training partner, her daughter Alisah.

The Power of the “Inspired Gang” 

Sushmita has always been a pioneer, from winning India’s first Miss Universe crown at 18 to adopting her first daughter, Renee, at the age of 24. Today, her fitness journey has become a family affair.

By training with Alisah, Sushmita is effectively bridging a generational gap, turning the “chore” of exercise into a shared language of strength and fun.

Her signature sign-off, “Dugga Dugga,” serves as a rhythmic reminder that her fitness is rooted in a deep sense of spiritual protection and maternal bond.

The “Aarya” Effect on Physicality 

Sushmita Sen’s recent career resurgence in Aarya—a role that earned an International Emmy nomination—has clearly bled into her personal life.

To play a woman who survives the underworld to protect her family, Sen had to embody a level of “functional grit.”

• The Core Focus: The core workouts she shares are not just for aesthetics; they are the foundation of the physical stunts required for her high-stakes roles.
• The Mental Resilience: Her caption “stronger than yesterday” isn’t just a gym cliché. It’s a manifesto for a woman who has navigated the industry for 30 years, from the fictionalized version of herself in Dastak (1996) to the revolutionary portrayal of transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant in Taali.

Don’t Exercise for “Maintenance” 

Most fitness advice for women entering their 50s focuses on “maintaining” bone density or “preserving” muscle. Sushmita Sen’s approach is she trains for growth.

By engaging in high-intensity training with her 2026 goals in mind, she rejects the idea that a woman’s physical peak is in her 20s.

Her advice to “come join us” suggests that community—her “gang”—is the secret ingredient that prevents the burnout so common in middle-aged fitness routines.

A Career Without Borders 

From the commercial success of Biwi No.1 and Main Hoon Na to the gritty, Dutch-inspired world of Penoza (the basis for Aarya), Sen has refused to be pigeonholed.

At 50, she is arguably in her most creatively fertile period. Aarya 3 didn’t just give her a comeback; it gave her a platform to show that an “independent woman” isn’t a trope, but a lived reality that requires both physical strength and emotional depth.

Key Takeaways:

• Family Fitness: Sushmita’s workout sessions with Alisah emphasize health as a shared family value.
• Milestone Year: At 50, Sen is leveraging her International Emmy nomination to push her physical limits.
• Legacy of Choice: Her journey from 1994 Miss Universe to a mother of two by choice remains a cornerstone of her public identity.
• Versatile Performer: Her roles in Taali and Aarya mark a shift toward socially significant and physically demanding storytelling.

The Bottom Line 

Sushmita Sen isn’t just setting goals; she is shattering the ceiling of what it looks like to be a 50-year-old icon in India.

With Alisah by her side, the “inspired gang” is proving that being stronger than yesterday is a choice one makes with every rep.
