Zohaeb Farooqui: I got introduced to MMA after a gym injury, but then I got attracted to it and decided to learn it full-fledged

MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) has transformed Zohaeb Farooqui physically and mentally. The Inspector Avinash actor shares how and when it all started.

“Learning something new takes time, so I gradually started to pick up. I started to enjoy it and ended up learning more than I imagined. But there is still more to learn. It’s just never-ending and I hope to keep on learning. As it also keeps in great shape and makes you light,” says Zohaeb

Talking about how he was introduced to MMA, he adds, “I happened to get introduced to it when I got injured in a gym where the doctor recommended physiotherapy to me and at that time I hired a team to guide and help me exercise. I saw my team doing some great stunts. That’s it, I got attracted to it and decided to learn it full-fledgedly. The boys who used to train me inspired me to take my passion ahead.”

MMA can be risky, but Zohaeb says at the end of the day if there is no risk then there is no story.

Ask him about his favourite action film and he replies, “There are so many films. The list is super long.”
