Randeep Hooda has been spending time promoting his recent release, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. The actor, who has also associated himself with Khalsa Aid to help those in need during the current wave of the pandemic, has been keeping a close watch on the stables that he frequents, and the horses there. The actor’s fondness for wildlife photography and horse riding is well-known. In a recent chat with BT, he admitted that he has not been able to make much time for these.
“I had been shooting and so, even weeks before the lockdown rules were implemented, I had not had a chance to visit the horses and the stables. Neither did I have much time to go clicking. But having said that, I am on the phone with the stable in-charges and the guys who are looking after the well-being of the horses every day. We speak as often as is needed. I look after the people who look after the horses.”
