NEW DELHI: Actor Samarth Shandilya who has acted in TV shows like ‘Sadda Haq’, ‘Savdhaan India’ went down the memory lane as he recalled an incident from school days. Samarth who has worked in 2015 movie ‘Sabki Bajegi Band’ along with Swara Bhaskar shared an incident when he got engaged in a spat with ace Indian cricketer Virat Kohli.
A year back, Samarth and Virat were working together in a bike advertisement when the schoolmates recollected memories of fight they had during an inter-school football match.

In an interview to Delhi Times, the actor opened up about the tussle. “It was an inter-school competition held in Cambridge School in Delhi – it was a football match, and we were in Class IX. Many players were there, among them Virat, Ankur Julka, etc,” Samarth recounts. “At one point, Virat aggressively pulled the back of my shirt and when I asked, ‘Kya kar raha hai yeh?’ he pulled it even harder – I heard the shirt rip. And then he replied, ‘Yeh kar raha hoon’. We were both given red cards. Recently, when I shot with him, he looked at me and recognizing me, said, ‘Football chhod diya? Yeh kar raha hai aaj kal?’ to which I replied, “Hey, relax! I have just completed my film,” he said.
Samarth was also seen in several commercials and couple of reality shows on Channel V.
