6th April, 2024, Mumbai: Tennis has become a new pastime for Romiit Raaj, who was last seen in Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si. Speaking about his new passion, he remarked, “I was in love with Steffi Graff and have always been fascinated by tennis since I was a child. Andrea Agassi was my favourite.”
Romiit has loved playing tennis since his childhood days.
He even took tennis lessons as a teenager, and he has continued to adore the game ever since. “I was too busy playing rugby at Calcutta Cricket & Football Club for the school team, so I never got time to practice tennis back then. There was a DI Club next to my house in Kolkata where Leander Paes played frequently. Nevertheless, I felt that I needed to learn something completely new and difficult every three to six months, so I started taking tennis lessons.
“I absolutely adored watching the US Open, Wimbledon, and French Opens. In fact, last year, I was going to watch Wimbledon with my brothers, but my shoot schedule prevented me from going. “My cousins went to see it,” he continued.
Romiit on Comparing Tennis to Boxing
Tennis is an incredible game that requires endurance, strength, and complete body coordination, according to Romiit, who believes that players in the sport are always on the move while competing on the court. You simply cannot stay still and are always moving. Your footwork is quite similar to boxing.
Romiit Wants His Daughter To Play Tennis As Well
He revealed that he now wants his daughter to take tennis classes as well, saying, “My daughter will be learning tennis during her summer vacations.” She likes playing badminton now that I taught her how to play it.
He has an unwavering passion for athletics and even picked up golf for a part. “I had to pick up the game for a part in a web series, and I had a great time at the Royal Calcutta Golf Club,” he concluded.
