PRAVEEN KUMAR SOBTI / Was 'Bhima' of Mahabharata struggling with financial constraints? Told myself this truth

Praveen Kumar Sobti, who played the role of Bhima in the famous serial 'Mahabharat', has passed away. He had been ill for the past several years. Due to his death, there has been a wave of mourning in the entertainment industry. Last year there were reports that Praveen Kumar Sobti is facing financial crunch but in a conversation with Zee News he had told that he has no problem with money.

'I don't believe in old age'

Last year in an interview with Zee News, Praveen Kumar Sobti had told that 'I have pain in my feet. It will take a month or two to recover, but there is no problem anyway. Even today the fire is the same in me and the mind also moves fast. I do not believe in old age. Aging happens in the human mind.

Broke silence on the news of financial crisis

When he was talked about financial constraints, he told that he has no problem with money. He said, 'People keep saying anything on social media but I have everything given by God. I have so much money that when I leave the world, I will leave something.

My words were misrepresented

You have demanded pension from Punjab government? On this question, Praveen Kumar Sobti had said, 'The government gives pension to those who have won medals at the international level. I only said that the Punjab government is not giving me pension but they took something else to mean that I need money. I am facing financial crisis, but I thank everyone for the concern people expressed about me after reading the news. I didn't know that people love me so much'.

Country's name

It is worth noting that before joining acting, Praveen Kumar Sobti was a hammer and discus throw athlete. He had won 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze in the Asian Games. He had brought laurels to the country by winning medals in Asian and Commonwealth Games. He was also honored with the Arjuna Award. After earning a name in the world of sports, he also got a job of Border Security Force (BSF), but after a few years Praveen Kumar Sobti made up his mind to act and never looked back.
