For the past many years, Rohit Sharma has been leaving a great impression with his impeccable cricketing skills. He made his test debut in 2013 and has come very far in career, as he’s now the captain of the Indian National Cricket Team. The right-handed batsman was also the captain of IPL’s Mumbai Indians team for 11 years (2013-2024). Rohit enjoys a huge fan following in India and is loved for making and breaking records often, whenever he is on the field. That’s why, he is given the tag ‘Hitman’ by his fans.
Everyone knows Rohit Sharma is a brilliant cricketer. But did you know he is also a big movie buff? In an interview in 2013, the cricketer got candid about his love for cinema. Rohit was asked who his favourite actors are and what his favourite movies are. His answers revealed that he is a true Bollywood buff!
Rohit Sharma told Filmfare that he loves Hrithik Roshan’s acting and dancing skills. He also likes Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Kumar. Among the actresses, Sharma likes Vidya Balan and Deepika Padukone. However, Rohit’s celebrity crush is Kareena Kapoor Khan. Sharma said, “She is very beautiful. I’ve always had a crush on her. I’m crazy about her. I’ve seen all her films.”
In the same interview, the Mumbai Indians cricketer was asked if he was offered any films. Rohit Sharma revealed that a director once said that he’s photogenic and should try acting. Sharma revealed, “Once, when I was shooting for a commercial, the director told me that I have a very photogenic face. He said that I should do acting and that he’d like to work with me. But honestly, I don’t have time. I don’t even get time for myself. At present, I can’t think of anything apart from cricket. This is just the beginning of my career. But, in future, if I get a chance, I’ll think about it, and I’d like to have Kareena Kapoor as my co-star. She’s my favourite. I like all her films.”
Since 2013, Rohit has acted in many commercials with celebrities and cricketers. Further, the actor shared a list of his favourite movies. Some of the movies Rohit loves are Veer Zaara, Hera Pheri, Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander, The Dark Knight Rises, Avengers, Iron Man, and Border, to name a few.
