TV Stars Have A Real Ball - Article

To beat the fatigue of daily schedules, Sharad Kelkar has brought together a bunch of TV buddies and formed a soccer team which plays every weekend .

Sharad Kelkar, aka Nahar of Saat Phere - Saloni Ka Safar , is a pucca sportsman in real life.

Sharad and some of his actor friends, tired of their daily schedules, wanted to explore their sporty side. So they decided to form a soccer team and named it Boxy Brothers.

Says an excited Sharad, "After hectic shooting schedules, all the actors want some respite. Everyone wanted to play football, so, Salil Ankola, Shabbir Ahluwalia, Manav Gohil, Vikas Sethi, I and our good friend Dilip Agarwal have made a soccer team."

Once the team was formed, other actors too were drawn to it. So, Bakhtyar Irani, Varun Badola and Anand Suryavanshi joined in. "We have invited lots of actors to join us. Hope they do," Sharad adds.

The three-week-old team has already played against the Jogeshwari Parsi Colony soccer team. They are planning matches with other teams also.

Since they are busy shooting from morning till late night through the week, they have fixed the matches for weekends from 7.30 am to 9.30 am.
