Fitness freak and accomplished martial arts exponent Akshay Kumar will sponsor five wrestlers to help keep the traditional sport alive.
"Whatever the cost, I will bear it in full. The decision taken is final," Akshay said.
Akshay's announcement came when he attended a recent competition organised by the Maharashtra Wrestling Association (MWA). He declared that he would look after all the professional needs of five among the wrestlers who came from different parts of India to take part in the contest. He said he would ensure that their wrestling career did not run into roadblocks due to financial reasons.
How much the sponsorship would be worth in terms of financial involvement has not yet been figured out.
