Amitabh Bachchan praises Randeep Hooda's horse-riding skills

Not many known Randeep's love for horses and horse riding. Infact, in his spare time the one thing Randeep truly enjoys riding are horses (no other pun intended). And if you think this is just another craze of a popular movie star, you are mistaken. For the record, Randeep has won seven medals, including three gold and two silver, at the National Equestrian Championship in dressage and show-jumping events a couple of months earlier. Now that's indeed an achievement worth flaunting, we say. Randeep is passionate about representing India at Asian Games but his busy and now buzzing film career leaves him with little time to focus on the game. For the moment, Randeep wants to do his bit to popularise the sport in the country. Meanwhile, Randeep received some high praise from none other than Amitabh Bachchan himself who after learning about Randeep's achievements congratulated him via Twitter. Tweeted Big B, "Whoaah! Splendid Randeep. Never knew this side of your story! Very impressed!! Now that's a compliment well-earned, we say.
