Abhimanyu Dassani, a former nation handballer, spends an evening with the women's junior team before they head out for the world championship

The not-so- Nikamma actor, Abhimanyu Dassani, is not only one of the fittest stars of the generation but also a source of inspiration to the youth. Being the former national level player of handball, Abhimanyu Dassani met with the Indian handball team on Thursday evening as the Indian women's junior team gears to leave for Greece after qualifying for World Championships for the first time, creating history.

As a former handball player, a proud Abhimanyu Dassani met the team to wish them luck and offer his support and motivation to the team, before they leave for the championship. On Thursday evening, Abhimanyu met the team at the Juhu beach at the practice session. 

Abhimanyu Dassani shares, "It is an incredibly proud moment for India as the Indian women's junior team is all set to represent the nation at the global level for the first time, creating history. I've always been an advocate for the importance of sports, such victories only motivate us to do better. Being a handball player myself, I am extremely excited for India's run at the world championship."
