Rohit Sharma TV debut: Indian cricketer to host his own show; shares first glimpse
Rohit Sharma is all set to make his entertainment debut with his own show on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV. Here’s everything about his new hosting venture.
After making his mark on the cricket field, Rohit Sharma is now ready to explore a completely new space. The Indian cricket star is set to make his debut as a host and presenter with his own show on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV.
Rohit, who has already retired from T20 and Test cricket, will now take on a new role in front of the camera. The show is expected to bring a mix of entertainment, fun and Rohit’s familiar personality to the audience.
Rohit’s Viral Dialogue Gets A Fun TwistSony Pictures Networks India recently released a teaser giving fans a glimpse of Rohit’s upcoming entertainment venture. The over-one-minute-and-forty-second clip shows the cricketer interacting with his fans.
The fans, however, have one special request. One after another, they ask Rohit to repeat his now-iconic line, “Koi bhi garden mein nahi ghumega (No one will roam in the garden).”
As the requests continue, Rohit slowly loses his patience. The repeated demand leaves him visibly frustrated, and he eventually walks away in exasperation. The teaser gives a light-hearted glimpse of what viewers can expect from his new avatar.
