U Mumba are currently busy playing in the ongoing Pro Kabaddi League. However, they are not having a good season so far. Currently, they are in the seventh position as they have gathered 49 points in 17 games. Speaking about their players, defender Rinku Sharma has been a star performer for the team.

In the last season, U Mumba bought him for ₹32 lakh and he performed very well in the debut season. In that season, Rinku Sharma was the sixth-best defender with 60 points from 22 matches. Now, he opened up about his favourite Bollywood actor in an exclusive interview in the middle of the ongoing season. 

“Sanjay Dutt is my favourite actor, and I love his style.” - Rinku Sharma

In an exclusive interview with Sportskeeda, Rinku Sharma said: “Sanjay Dutt is my favourite actor, and I love his style. It is my dream to meet him and also my favourite actress Sapna Choudhary one day. His dialogue "Pachas Tola, Pachas Tola, kitna? Pachas Tola" and "Thok Dalega!" are my favourites and the confidence in his dialogues is something I love to follow."

“When a raider comes near me to raid, I know I have to tackle him and take him down the way Sanjay Dutt takes down people in movies. That's always the way I play on the mat. My big brother Lokesh Sharma introduced me to the game when I was very young. I would see big players like Pardeep Narwal, Sandeep Narwal and Rajesh Narwal doing so well and getting jobs from the kabaddi so even I wanted to play it." the U Mumba defender said.

"My father and mother wanted me to study and my brother wanted me to play. I had to make a choice between the two. Luckily in 2014, when I was still in school, the Pro Kabaddi started and I saw how all the seniors got so much recognition and even jobs, so the decision to pick sport over education was easy after that for me. Naturally, I had to bunk school quite a bit to play. I anyway wasn't really interested in studying, so instead, I worked hard on making my skills better." Rinku Sharma concluded
