Mumbai: Actor Angad Bedi, who is known for films such as ‘Pink’, ‘Soorma’ and ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’, has been training for the last six months for a 400 metre sprint event. And now, the actor is all set to display his sprinting skills as the event is scheduled for April 16, in Mumbai’s suburbs.
Angad, comes from a sports background, son of Padma Shri awardee and former Indian cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi. Angad has been training under Brinston Miranda, the world number 5 hurdle sprinter, to hone his skills.
Talking about the same, Angad said: “I have been training for this event for the last six months. Coming from a sports background, sprinting is a part of my workout routine, but a 400 metre event needs some amount of training, which I have been doing. Miranda has been a big help and a wonderful coach.”
He further mentioned: “Being one of the top hurdlers in the world, he definitely has techniques which are valuable. I can’t wait to hit the track. One of the best things about these sporting events is it tests your endurance, which otherwise you might not know.”
