The upcoming XI Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi (Russia) has a new face


Payal Rohatgi's wrestler boyfriend Sangram Singh has become the new face of the tournament that will kick off in February next year.

Incidentally, Sangram was wheelchair-bound when he was a kid. Says the wrestler, "I was born underweight and I also suffered from arthritis. My hands and legs were paralysed. But with my will power, I got better and became a wrestler."

The wrestler wants to promote the cause of spreading awareness about sports for the physically challenged. Says Sangram, "I will promote this cause without any personal benefit."u00a0
