Mukti Mohan Shatters Her Personal Record with an Epic Plank Challenge

3 min readNew DelhiFeb 11, 2026 02:57 PM Actor and dancer Mukti Mohan recently surprised her fans and followers holding a plank for 9 minutes and, her own admission, breaking her own record. “Goal: break your own record. 9:02:07 #PlankChallenge,” she shared in a post on Instagram.
Reacting to her reel, her ser Shakti Mohan wrote, “Golu chal battle ho jaaye. Aaja, main tujhse haarna chahti hoon (Let’s fight it out. I want to lose to you!).”
Apart from the sers’ fun banter, what caught our eye was her core endurance that very few would dare attempt.
“The plank is a deceptively simple posture, yet it is one of the most effective ways to build total-body stability. Maintaining a solid hold requires engagement from the shoulders, core, glutes, and legs at the same time. It also demands mental focus, breath control, and consent practice — factors that Mukti clearly embodies,” said consultant dietitian and fitness expert Garima Goyal.
Her nine-minute hold is a testament not just to physical ability but to discipline and persence.
According to Goyal, planks offer benefits that extend far beyond a flat stomach. “A strong core contributes to better posture, reduced back discomfort, improved functional movement, and enhanced performance in other activities like dance, running or strength training,” said Goyal, adding that achieving a nine-minute hold signals not only endurance but also a high level of muscular coordination and body awareness.

What makes such an achievement especially inspiring is that she continues to push her own limits rather than chasing external comparisons. “Her approach reflects a balanced blend of consency, mindful progression, and respect for her body,” said Goyal.
