Baba Ramdev was perfectly attired for a celebrity football match at Delhi's Nehru Stadium on Sunday. With shoes matching his saffron dhoti, the yoga guru grabbed a lot attention as several Bollywood stars and Parliamentarians lined up for some serious football action.
Baba Ramdev was his usual energetic self - kicking the ball barefooted and ready for a tackle as players tried to dribble past him.
Sunday's match was a contest between Bollywood stars and Parliamentarians, many with filmi connections. While Abhishek Bachchan led the Bollywood team, the Parliamentarians were skippered by BJP's Babul Supriyo. Movie star Manoj Tiwari was Babul Supriyo's deputy.
