Saimer in focus Why film makers should continue to make biopics More than 70 years after his debut in the world stage, Olympian Milkha Singh continues to inspire Gen Next. Case in point is Saimer Parikshit who was motivated to take up athletics after watching the biopic ‘Baag Milkha Baag’ at a young age. As a lad growing up in rural Maharashtra, Parikshit started to keep pace with the train that passes through his village. He graduated to school level athletics, as a participant in long jump and running events. His achievements include: • Athletics medal winner at the district level from 2013 to 2016. • Gold Medal in 100 metres at a division level sports event in 2018. • Leading the Nagpur division Kabaddi team as Captain in 2019 and emerging as runner-up. • Participation in a National level Relay Running Race in 2019. 12 Parikshit Martand Kapgate Production, Bidar
