India's fastest sprinter, Gurindervir Singh, has joined forces with Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt to promote her upcoming film 'Alpha'. The duo recently posted a video on their respective Instagram accounts, showcasing a blend of athleticism and cinematic flair.
Video Message and Tagline
In the clip, Gurindervir delivers a powerful message: "Sabse aage, sabse tez hone ke liye lagta hai focus, lagan aur hard work." The video is captioned with the tagline, "Alpha meets an Alpha," highlighting the synergy between the athlete and the actress. Alia Bhatt describes Gurindervir as the Alpha of the running track, noting his impressive 100-meter race finish in 10.09 seconds.
Inspiration from Usain Bolt
During their interaction, Alia Bhatt inquired about Gurindervir's journey in athletics and the inspirations behind his success. Reflecting on his early days, the sprinter revealed that legendary runner Usain Bolt played a key role in motivating him to take up the sport. "I watched Usain Bolt and then thought of becoming an athlete," Gurindervir said.
Father's Influence and Sacrifices
Gurindervir also spoke about the profound influence of his father, who had to abandon his volleyball career after suffering an injury. "My father once told me that if he had continued playing volleyball, his life would have been different. That motivated me to pursue sports seriously," he shared. The athlete fondly recalled receiving his first pair of running spikes from his father, who had brought them from New Zealand. The shoes were so precious to him that he treated them with extraordinary care. "I would not even let them touch the floor. I used to keep them on a table only," he said with a smile.
Personal Touch: Favorite Chef
In a lighter moment, Gurindervir named his father as his favorite chef. "My father makes very good food," he said, adding a personal touch to the conversation.
