SANGRAM SINGH

Wherever I go, I now easily get the attention of the sports fraternity.

Just for the pleasure of being seen on screen with Aamirji, I can't play a loser. It will disappoint my supporters.

Standing up for national anthem doesn't make you an Indian. Posting flags on social networks doesn't make you an Indian.

In every sport, there will be struggle and obstacles, but a victory which comes easily is no victory.

Success and failure go hand in hand.

Every man must know how to cook; this is the first thing that we are taught back home.

My elder brother is a lecturer in a college in Haryana, and my eldest sister was a teacher. I feel they are more educated than I am. I, too, used to dream of becoming a teacher.

The only specialized diet that I follow is home-cooked food.

I want to attract as many people to wrestling as I can.

I've fought physical disability and was cured because of naturopathy and yoga.

By starting a wrestling league, I hope to provide for wrestling the kind of visible and glamorous platform that the IPL has given to cricket.

I want to help all those youngsters in Nagpur who have fire and sporting spirit burning inside them and not merely those who want to take up wrestling.

There is an abundance of good sports talent in India, and wrestling needs a strong support of a very big brand to endorse the sport.

I want to create as many opportunities as possible for people inclined towards sports.

We should stand up for those who can't protect themselves. Support kids and families who can't support themselves.

I love and admire the late actor Farooq Shaikh and his style of speaking.

All this talk of equality remains merely on paper. In real life, women are still bound by several psychological shackles and emotional boundaries imposed on them by their families and others. If a girl comes home late, she is asked 100 questions, whereas boys are not answerable for anything. And this prevails across segments.

I want to tell all the youngsters in Nagpur and in the rest of India that sports is not merely about winning medals; it is about being fit and healthy. It is not about six-packs and going to gym, but exercising right and eating intelligently.

Whatever I am today is all because of the love and support I have received from the people of Haryana.

I had broken my nose while practicing. Also I got a fracture on my shoulders, knees.

I am humbled that my story inspires the jawans.

If cricket can be so glamorous and lucrative, I don't see why wrestling should lag behind.

As a responsible citizen and a role model to a certain section of people, I need to use every available platform to reach out to the impressionable sections of our country.

I don't have time to spare for a daily soap; it needs commitment.

Teaching is a respectful job. Teachers lay the foundation for society.
