He had keen interest in sports/games like other children of his age group, but often he felt weak towards his legs. He started taking part in those games/sports which have more utilization of legs. Fortunately his father was deputed to Iran where he saw movies related to actions, particularly Bruce Lee’s “Enter the Dragon”; “Return of the Dragon”; “Fist of Fury” etc. By seeing these movies his interest was developed to do such type of actions. There was a play ground nearby his house where an Irani instructor started martial art classes. He immediately joined martial art classes over there. When his family came back to India. Feeling the great interest of his sons towards Martial Art his father inquired and requested Mr. Jimmy R. Jagtiani to start and introduce the same in Aligarh, which was started in the year 1978. Taekwondo was one of the game/sport of his choice as this game/sport is based on kicks and punches. So he decided to select only Taekwondo and pay his full attention on it.

He got accolades & appreciations from a number of dignitaries.
