Paralympics Gold Medallist and German sprinter, Heinrich Popow is hoping to meet and interact with Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra during her ongoing to Mumbai.
The gold medalist is in Mumbai to conduct a three days special training for people with limited mobility with an objective to show that they too can lead an active life.
Popow said that India is known for its culture food and Bollywood, adding that he was thrilled to be here and educate participants on living a better life, despite challenges.
"Coming to India and not meeting my current heart throb would be an incomplete trip for me. I have seen some of the episodes in Quantico and have loved her work. I truly look forward to meet Priyanka Chopra during my stay in India," said the 31-year-old sprinter.
Earlier on Friday, Heinrich along with the physically impaired participants also ran on Marine Drive in a bid to raise awareness about the needs of people with limited mobility.
