Parvin Dabas is a maverick in the true sense of the term. Apart from being the versatile actor that he is, he’s also an active entrepreneur and a visionary who’s truly made the country proud at a global level. Yes, that’s right. He’s the main man behind the visionary ‘Pro Panja League’ and together with his wife, he’s helped ‘Panja’ aka ‘arm wrestling’ truly escalate to new heights. While Parvin has played a pivotal role in putting India on the global map when it comes to the field of arm wrestling, not many are perhaps aware of the fact that the talented and dashing persona has been a huge sports freak himself, right from childhood. Well, only someone completely dedicated to sports can have such a beautiful vision, right? On being asked about his association with sports and the games he’s been most passionate about, Parvin said and we quote,
“Well, today, I might be occupied with multiple things like acting and business. However, there’s a saying that ‘Once a sportsman, always a sportsman.’ That’s exactly the reason why my mind might be preoccupied with things related to acting and entrepreneurship. However, the heart still beats for sports. Throughout my life, I have played different sports like boxing, kickboxing, and basketball. Apart from all this, I am also quite proactive when it comes to running and hiking. Besides this, I am an avid underwater diver and that demands a great amount of fitness. I also keep a lot of interest in MMA and arm wrestling, that goes without saying. As a sports entrepreneur, I am very happy with what Pro Panja League has been able to do. But, having said that, it’s about doing what’s required next to level up and both Preeti and I are focused towards that goal. We have very big plans for the future of Panja/Armwrestling in the country and are working towards that.
Well, kudos really to Parvin for doing something unthinkable and ‘out of the box’ and tapping a zone that always had potential but not much attention. His contribution to Indian arm wrestling deserves all the love and respect certainly and here’s wishing him great success going forward in all his future endeavors. Stay tuned for more updates.
