“It’s just a fantastic sport and I am so happy that the NBA has made such effort to come to India and promote the sport,” stated Abhishek Bachchan who has a keen interest in sports.

“I think there is a great need for leagues like NBA to come here and share their expertise and help promote on grass root level a sport which I think we Indians can be brilliant at”, he added.

If one remembers, Abhishek Bachchan has even extending his support to the Jaipur franchise of Pro-Kabaddi, a professional Kabaddi League and is planning to start a women’s kabaddi league in the future.

“Kabaddi is part of what I am doing, but tomorrow if NBA starts doing something with basketball, I would be the first person to volunteer. I think it’s a brilliant sport and a sport in which Indians can excel. I wish we can do some more to promote it,” Abhishek said.

Abhishek Bachchan strongly feels that women should participate in sports. He stated that sports are as essential to women as it is for men.

“As far as women in sports is concerned, it is equally important for them as it is for men. As far as my kabaddi league is concerned, we are having women kabaddi matches with the men, and we have an agenda to start a women’s kabaddi league in future.” Abhishek Bachchan said.
