Lauding his son Abhishek's initiative for the promotion of kabaddi, Amitabh Bachchan says the country is capable of excelling at multiple sporting events, if people put their heart, mind and business sense to it.
Abhishek’s Jaipur Pink Panthers franchise of the Pro-Kabaddi League won the inaugural championship. Big B said: ‘Yes, Abhishek owns a Kabaddi team, a team that has won the first championship of Pro-Kabaddi. I am extremely happy for him and proud too in the way he went about encouraging the sport personally and individually.’
Do you feel, like we all do, that too much attention is given to cricket in our country? No. Too much attention is not being given to cricket. Not enough attention is being given to other sports,’ he said.
