Esha Gupta helps ice skater achieve Olympics dreams through crowd-funding

Mumbai: It is a well-known fact that Esha Gupta is a sports enthusiast; the actress is a die-hard follower of the football club Arsenal and was even snapped hanging out with one of the players, Hector Bellerin.

Esha thus knows how difficult it is for someone to achieve their dreams in the field of sports especially when resources are meagre. The actress is helping ice skater Nikhil Pingle get one step closer to achieving his dream.

The stunning actress got to know about Nikhil through a friend. She found out details and was keen to help him in whatever way possible.

Esha learnt that Nikhil has been performing outstandingly well in competitions across India and needed financial support to train at the Olympic training facility in Canada.

Being a sports lover, she wanted to help the aspiring skater. Esha made the donation through a crowd funding website and also spoke to friends and family to support Nikhil and help him via the crowd funding initiative.

She has been actively following up on the progress for Nikhil.

Esha shares,"I learnt about Nikhil from a friend. Being a sports enthusiast I would love to promote all sports, especially the ones still not recognized in our country yet. There is so much burgeoning talent in our country, but most of the people don't make it because they don't get a chance."

She further adds, "A lot of people have reached out to me and my team. We should be able to raise enough funds for Nikhil to train for Olympics."
