Taapsee, Angad enjoy lunch with Sandeep Singh

Actors Taapsee Pannu and Angad Bedi, who are currently in Shahbad, Punjab, to shoot for their next film on Sandeep Singh enjoyed a meal with the Indian hockey player.

Angad and Taapsee took time off and were met with warm hospitality at Sandeep’s house where they were greeted by his entire family, including his brother, wife, parents and kids. Apart from talking about the film, they also spoke about his personal experiences as a professional sports player. The actors were extremely happy with the love they got from Sandeep’s family.

“Going to Sandeep’s place was long due. Luckily, we were shooting in the same area where he lives so we decided to go n meet the entire family in person. Though we had met them before briefly on set, it was a good experience meeting them over lunch.

“They are very warm and sweet family and they cooked some amazing paranthas for us. It almost felt similar to how I feel when I visit my extended family members in Punjab. Smaller cities always have people with bigger hearts,” Taapsee said in a statement.

The film is being directed by Shaad Ali.

Arjuna awardee Sandeep Singh made headlines when he made a successful return to the hockey field after being hit by a bullet in a freak incident. He was seriously injured after being hit by an accidental gunshot in Shatabadi Express in August 2006 while he was on his way to join the national team due to leave for the Monchengladbach World Cup in Germany two days later. Sandeep was almost paralysed and on wheel chair for two years. He not only recovered from the serious injury, but also made a stunning comeback and established himself in the Indian team. His four goals in India’s 8-1 win over France in the Olympic Qualifer made him a hero, even as his state govt presented him with about Rs.50 lac prize money for the effort.
