- David Britto

From being the face of the very successful YouTube channel BeingIndian to anchoring the 2018 FIFA World Cup telecast for India as well as appearing on the big screen for films such as 200 Halla Ho and the just-released 83, Sahil Khattar has done it all.

Watch our interview with Khattar above or read excerpts below as he talks to us about where gets his drive from for all his pursuits, playing the role of Indian cricketer and winner of the 1983 World Cup Syed Kirmani, his love for playing FIFA and more.

Firstly, congratulations on 83 doing so well. Thank you so much. It’s not just 83 I’m happy about. It’s the whole way my career has shaped up. To be honest, you know, when you see a guy like me, you will only think, “I don’t know, there are only certain kinds of roles that he can do or certain kinds of projects that he can associate himself with.” But I’m very happy that I have broken most of the barriers. Actually, there is nothing left to break. Now the only barrier to break is superstardom.

I think you were born about eight years after India won its first Cricket World Cup. When did you first become aware of this historic event in Indian cricket?
