Actress Evelyn Sharma got an opportunity to learn Thai boxing from champion Sumlock Kamsing while she was shooting in Thailand.
The "Nautanki Saala!" actress was in Thailand shooting for her new show "Life Mein Ek Baar", and during her stay there she got to pick up the sport.
"It was fun. I never thought I can do something like Thai boxing. It is a great way to learn some self-defense. It teaches you some great amount of concentration, dedication and helps to stay fit as well," Evelyn said in a statement.
"Life Mein Ek Baar" is a reality documentary drama about Evelyn and her friends and about their adventurous vacation and experiences in Thailand. The forthcoming show will capture the personal experience of this trip of Evelyn and her girl gang - Mahek Chahal, Pia Trivedi and Rochelle Rao.
Talking about the show, she said: "It is such an amazing concept. The show gives you freedom and opportunity to try out your most adventurous dreams, and that in a team of your best friends.
"It's like you are working and on a vacation at the same time. Imagine you had to snorkel in the most beautiful ocean for work."

Rahul Khanna on Hollywood, Bollywood
Having worked in both Hollywood and Bollywood, Rahul feels the Indian film industry is catching up with the west.
"In the west, budgets are much higher and everything is very disciplined and planned. That said, the Indian industry has changed a lot in the last few years. These days, most Indian films are made quite similar to their western counterparts," said the actor, who had starred in "The Emperor's Club", directed by Michael Hoffman.
"Productions are extremely well organised and everything is meticulously scheduled. Indian technical and creative talent has always been top notch and now, our execution is also catching up to the west," he added.
Rahul, who has even featured in a movie titled "Bollywood Hollywood", has now starred in "Fireflies".
