The 'Tiger Zinda Hai' actor, Angad Bedi marked his international sports debut by winning the gold medal in the 400 meters race at the International Masters 2023 Athletics Championship held in Dubai. He dedicated the historic win to his father, former cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi who passed away recently due to prolonged illness.

The grief stricken actor had earlier told an entertainment publication that sportsmanship is in his blood and he wanted to do exactly what his father would have expected of him. 

He took to Instagram to share a set of pictures from the tournament and wrote, "Its time. Just be with me dad (folding hands emoji) (sic)."

Angad said after the splendid achievement, "This win is dedicated to my father. He always said keep your head down and let your actions speak. I have always been deeply inspired by his wisdom. I did this race because that’s what my father would have wanted. It’s my way of honouring him and his legacy. Sportsmanship is in my blood. And I want to do exactly what my father would have expected of me."

He further said, "I did this race, in honor of him and his values that he has instilled in me during his wonderful life. He will always be there with me, as my guiding light. I am also deeply grateful for the guidance and mentorship of Coach Miranda, whose expertise has been instrumental in my progress."
