Have checked some of the body builders BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) which is pretty unhealthy as they are more than 25. Does this mean they are unhealthy??

A better impeachment of BMI would be an NFL running back. Those guys frequently go 5’8″ to 6′ and 200 pounds plus. Way overweight according to BMI. Yet extraordinarily healthy with daily professional guidance on physical training and diet.

The most common BMI charts will tell you to apply carefully for cases where the person is very muscular.

Body builders might often be unhealthy, but the BMI isn’t the indicator.
