Rocky Randhawa Borrows Rocky Balboa's Line For Gym Flex. See Ranveer Singh's Post

It's the first Monday after the release of Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani and Ranveer Singh is feeling the need – the need for a Monday Motivation post. The actor, whose performance as the titular Rocky of Karan Johar's film has been singled out for praise, shared a throwback picture of himself in the gym, flexing impressive muscles. It's no ordinary flex either; Ranveer captioned the post with a line borrowed from the OG Rocky – boxer Rocky Balboa written and played by Sylvester Stallone. He wrote: ""It's not about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." – ROCKY," adding the Monday Motivation hashtag.

The comments thread is fully appreciative of this Rocky.  "Now that's a classic line," read a comment. "Those biceps have every right to do anything," read another. "It's Ranveer Singh's world and we're just living in it," read a third. The Cult Fit Instagram handle wrote, "We're in love with this Rocky aur fitness ki prem kahani."

Some comments were Rocky-specific. "Rocky ki itni achhi English kaise ho gayi," one fan wanted to know – in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Ranveer Singh's character is a flashy young West Delhi man whose OTT style competes for attention with hilariously broken English. Another fan asked, "Why was your intro scene so drastically shortened?" (Editor's note – it was?) A third comment read, "What are you?" – in the film, Alia Bhatt, who plays Rani, asks Rocky more than once, "Tu kya hai?"
