Actor Nandish Singh, best known for his roles in shows like "Uttaran" and "Beintehaan", has bought a Box Cricket League Gujarat, along with his friend Gaurav Aggarwal.
Nandish, who was earlier known as Nandish Sandhu, is already a co-owner of Ahmedabad Express team in the main league Box Cricket League.
He says he is enjoying the new phase in his life as a businessman.
Talking about his new venture, Nandish said in a statement: "After acting, if there's something I've loved, it's been sports and especially cricket. Hence, after Ahmedabad Express when this opportunity came my way, I decided to jump right at it."
Nandish said that acting will remain his first love and he is waiting for a good offer for a fiction TV show.
"Acting, of course, is my first love and I am looking forward to taking up my next fiction project very soon, but BCL will continue on the side. Gujarat is an emerging market and while The Ahmedabad Express was the first ever team to represent Gujarat, the league will take it all together to another level," he added.
