With his unmatchable and extraordinary performance, actor Rahul Bose has made his presence felt in every one of his films. The extraordinary list of films includes his recent Bengali release Anuranan by Aniruddha Roy Choudhury and an American production Before The Rains, directed by Santosh Sivan.
But that is not the end that someone can draw about Rahul's career. This actor has another role to play in his real life, that of a rugby player. He has represented India in several tournaments. Now he is busy preparing for the World Cup qualifier in the Asian Zone Rugby Tournament to be held in Bangkok. This could give India recognition in the rugby world. "The best 32 nations play the World Cup. India is ranked 83rd. and has been playing rugby for 100 years. We were recognized only 10 years ago and have decades to go before we reach the World Cup," explains the actor.
But this match will be the actor's last match. “I have had two major orthroscopies, six broken fingers, including two shattered thumbs and I have broken my nose three times. The most serious one was when dirt was kicked violently into my eyes. I almost lost my eyesight because there were 210 pieces of stones stuck in both eyes,” Rahul explains the reasons behind leaving the game.
Rahul may leave the field of rugby, but his contribution to the game will always receive the same accolades as his films.
