Spiritual leader and chief of Dera Sacha Sauda Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh is not just a spiritual leader, an actor, a singer and a director. He claims he has also mastered the art of giving advice to cricketers, and that apart from Shikhar Dhawan, Nehra and others, team India captain Virat Kohli is one of his disciples.
Rahim made the claim during an interview to the Bollywood entertainment blog, Spotboye.
He was unable to convert good starts into big scores. I suggested him to practice hard and continue learning.Ram Rahim
He added that Kohli even thanked him when he was chosen to be a part of the Indian cricket team.
The self-styled godman has been in the news ahead of a CBI court verdict in Panchkula regarding a 15-year-old rape case against him on Friday. Lakhs of Rahim’s supporters have thronged to the Haryana town in solidarity with the leader.
