'Girls should only do cardio, lifting is for guys', 'You won't look like a girl if you build muscles' - it's 2021 and women are still facing such stereotypical fitness-related remarks. Actor Taapsee Pannu is completely against the common notion that having a muscular physique is a man's domain.

"Unfortunately, there's still a stereotypical outlook towards women's fitness. It's extremely sad. Who has made this rule that women can't have muscles? I find this to be a big myth which all of us must have heard and maybe in the beginning when I was trying to lose weight at a point in life, I also heard that 'just do cardio and don't do weightlifting'. I paid attention to that stupid advice because I did not know any better and I was not that open-minded at that time that I would question it, but slowly with time I realised it's absolutely wrong," Taapsee told ANI.
