TV actor Himanshu Malhotra has appeared in several popular films, including Shershaah starring Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani. In the film, he portrayed Major Rajiv Kapoor. In a recent conversation with SCREEN, Himanshu reflected on his experience working on Shershaah, recalling how they were filming in Kashmir when Article 370 was imposed, and witnessing the early sparks of romance between Sidharth and Kiara on set. Sharing how he bagged the role in Shershaash, Himanshu said, “I had auditioned for a film for Kunal Kohli, but that didn’t happen, and I got slightly disappointed. Then I gave a test for a film, but I didn’t know it was for Shershaah. In the audition script, it was just written Captain Vikram, not even Batra was mentioned. I was in a different zone. Three months later, I got a call informing me that I was selected for a film called Shershaah by Dharma Productions, which was based on the 1999 Kargil War. I was playing Major Rajiv Kapoor in the film.” Also Read: Sidharth Malhotra escorts pregnant Kiara …

From basking in the glory on the judo mat to creating waves in the swimming pool, Himanshu Nandal’s story is inspirational. A visually impaired para-athlete from Rohtak, Haryana, Himanshu is currently India’s top-ranked S11 swimmer—a classification for swimmers with very low or no vision. Himanshu was just three months old when his family noticed irregularities with his vision. A detailed check-up revealed optic nerve failure, which led to complete blindness. “Sports is the best thing that happened to me. I was always a fitness enthusiast and wanted to break the barrier that visually disabled people can’t excel in sports. That was all the more reason for my increased motivation,” Himanshu told The Bridge, in an exclusive interview. “There is no limit to what you can achieve, just keep exploring,” he added.

Virat Kohli with Himanshu Sangwan© X/Twitter Virat Kohli‘s much-fancied Ranji Trophy return after 12 long years was short-lived after he was dismissed for just 6 by Railways pacer Himanshu Sangwan in the first innings of the match at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium. Kohli didn’t get to bat in the second innings as Delhi handed Railways a defeat by an innings in the group match. Despite the negative result his team incurred, Railways’ Himanshu Sangwan made headlines for the fact that he clean-bowled the great Virat Kohli. Now, Sangwan has revealed what happened in the lead up to the delivery. “Before the match, there were talks about Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant going to play for Delhi.

Virat Kohli’s return to the Ranji Trophy last week with the bat was an all too brief stay at the crease, lasting 23 fleeting minutes before an expectant home crowd at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. As Kohli’s off-stump went for a toss from a nip-backer off his 15th delivery from a relatively unknown Himanshu Sangwan, the Railways pacer burst to the limelight for his roaring celebration, theatrics often associated with Kohli himself. After all, there is the Delhi fire running in 27-year-old Sangwan too who represented the team in age-group cricket and made his U-15 debut with Kohli’s India teammate and wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant. Sangwan, who works as a senior ticket collector in the Old Delhi Railway Station was later appreciated by the former India captain in the dressing-room following Delhi’s innings victory on Saturday. विराट कोहली से गेंद पर हस्ताक्षर लेते हिमांशु सांगवानी #विराटकोहली #ViratKohli𓃵 Nice gesture by Virat Kohli😧 pic.twitter.com/P5WAib5g65 — Lokesh sharma/ लोकेश शर्मा (@lokeshreporter) February 2, 2025 “When I gave him (Kohli) the ball to sign it, he asked …
