We often witness celebrities supporting certain events that promote a lot of things like health awareness. But recently, some of our favourite TV stars are promoting a hatke sport. Any guesses? Volleyball! Yes, the actresses are kicked about the Aadhi Aabadi Volleyball Cup, a new sports league which will commence this May. TV actress Pooja Gor, popularly known as Pratigya, is a part of the organising committee and seems pretty enthusiastic about the new venture. Talking exclusively to Tellychakkar.com, she shared, “I was already associated with them as I am a part of the committee. The aim behind this initiative is to make an effort to invite female athletes, as volleybal is not very popular. So, this is a way of setting up a strong platform for women in sports and boosting their fitness at large,” she says. The Volleyball Cup has a total of eight teams: Bengal Tigress, Bihar Challengers, Chennai Queens, Delhi Panthers, Haryana Strikers, Maratha Warriors, Uttarakhand Smashers and UP Thunders. The leagues’ first match is going to take place in Bengaluru between Haryana Strikers and UP Thunders on 27 May 2017. This league is founded by Mr. Dinesh Kumar Singh and the President is none other than Raju Kher. Some of the other TV actresses who are also part of the Aadhi Aabadi Volleyball Cup include Resha Konkar, Lavina Tandon and Hritu Dudani among more. Resha on her part added, “I am very happy to be the goodwill ambassador for it. I am representing the Haryana Strikers. My co-star Hritu Dudani is representing Uttarakhand Smashers. We will be playing the first match of the league in Delhi for which I will start training soon. Since I am not into any sports except badminton, it's a completely new venture for me. Really looking forward to it.” We surely love the spirit of these actresses to motivate girls to go ahead in sports. Let us know what you think about Aadhi Aabadi Voleyball Cup!
