Actor Aparshakti Khurana, actor Shahid Kapoor's brother Ishaan Khattar and "Neerja" fame actor Jim Sarbh have followed in Ranbir Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchans footsteps and joined the All Stars Football Club (ASFC) here.
Aparshakti, who is often spotted at cricket events, is happy being part of a football club and practices the sport here every Sunday.
"Though football is not my first sport, once a sportsperson always a sportsperson. I certainly have the stamina to run around the big field so, I am enjoying these Sunday practice matches with the team. We genuinely have a good team with a perfect mix of young and older lot," Aparshakti said in a statement.
Aparshakti, Ishaan and Jim have been made part of the club to attract youths to the sport in India. The matches will be organised to donate the revenue for social causes and to support underprivileged soccer players.
Aparshakti, brother of actor Ayushmann Khurrana, will next be seen in a web series along with actress Shamita Shetty.
