Actor Praveen Kumar Sobti, popular for his role as Bhim in BR Chopra’s mythical drama Mahabharata, has died at the age of 74. Praveen is known for her huge stature and has played the role of follower, thug and bodyguard in many Bollywood films. The 6ft 6in actor and athlete is from Punjab.

Before entering the acting industry, Pravin was a hammer and discus athlete. He is a four-time Asian Games medallist (2 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze) and also represented India at two Olympic Games (Mexico 1968 and Munich 1972). He is also an Arjuna Award recipient. It was because of the sport that Praveen was awarded the position of Deputy Commander of the Border Security Force (BSF).

In 2013, Pravin tried to enter politics and ran for parliamentary elections with the Aam Aadmi party vote in Delhi’s Wazirpur constituency, but lost. After this defeat, he joined the Bharatiya Janata Party. In 2021, Pravin expressed dissatisfaction with not receiving a pension from the Punjab government.
