Had
fate
favoured
Manish
Raisinghania,
who
essays
the
role
of
Sameer
in
Zee's
"Teen
Bahuraniyan",
he
would
have
been
doing
India
proud
in
national
and
international
martial
arts
championships.
The
second-degree
Black
Belt
in
karate
has
won
the
State
Championship
title
thrice
for
karate
and
the
National
Championship
title
four
times
for
karate
and
kick-boxing.
But
lack
of
sponsorship
forced
the
talented
lad
to
quit
the
sports.
"I
was
selected
for
the
International
Championship
four
times
but
because
of
lack
of
sponsorship
and
a
lot
of
politics
involved,
I
decided
to
quit
it.
In
India,
except
for
cricket,
every
other
game
is
neglected.
This
attitude
makes
many
budding
sportspersons
lose
motivation
and
move
into
other
professions.
I'm
glad
that
"Chak
De
India" is
focusing
on
hockey,"
he
said.
However,
the
actor
has
not
given
up
his
passion
completely.
He
is
now
all
set
to
kick-start
his
martial
arts
practice.
With
"Betiyaan
Apni
Ya
Paraya
Dhan" over
and
his
great
time
manangement
with
'Teen
Bahuraaniyaan'
,
Manish
has
more
free
time
than
he
expected.
It
is
learnt
that
Manish
has
also
joined
Salsa
classes.
Now,
that
makes
one
wonder
whether
resuming
martial
arts
and
taking
dance
training
is
all
part
of
some
hush-hush
project?
Put
in
other
words,
is
Bollywood
calling?
"Of
course,
I
intend
to
get
into
films.
But
at
this
point
of
time,
I
would
say
the
keyword
is
preparation,"
Manish
signs
off.
