Shiv Shastri Balboa

Partner, we have a flight to catch to America tonight.

Do you think you'll be done by then?

I'm proud to say I am his first coach

Jitender is representing India in Commonwealth games

It's a matter of pride for me and this club

Jitender, would you like to say something?

I learned all my basics from this very Rocky Boxing club.

Not just me many other youngsters

are getting into to boxing because of this club

- Excuse me. - Ok.

Cut Cut Cut

Rakeshji, Is it true that this club was started by a fan of the Rocky movie?

Yes! Our founder Shiv Shastriji is going to USA today.

This farewell program is being organized in his honor

Actually, it's a very good story.

But I will have to take Rajat Sir's approval to cover him

So please get the approval, Shastriji will be really happy.

In fact, he is a big fan of Rajat Sir

- Please - I'll try

Oh wow, a music band!

Jitender you are here too! I didn't know all of you will be here today

Congratulations, you won the championship

All thanks to your blessings Sir.

Very good

Here's a small gift for you from all of us

This is small? This is such a big gift

You guys sometimes!

This has all been done by the students. I'm just here to help out.

Thank you thank you

- Thank you very much. - And another surprise for you

Rajesh, can you give the phone to Rajat sir

- Ok. What's your name again? - Shiv Shankar Shastri

Tell Sir, Shiv Shastri is on the line

Sir, it's Joyeeta's call, Shiv Shastriji is on the line

Look at the time.

Rajat Sharma ji! I'm a huge fan of you Sir.

I have watched every episodes of Aap Ki Adalat. Multiple times even!

Can you check the audio please. 1-2 1-2 audio. Good?

But why would you want to do an interview with a commoner like me?

A person's work is what makes him big or small.

You have taught people to dream big

and have changed the notion of being a commoner

And your boxing ring

has given our country big stalwarts like Jitender and Vijender

So it's only fair for the country to know about someone like you

Ahem, what would you be asking me Sir? Can you help me prep please?

So the questions would be how did you inspire players

How did you reach this level of success

How did you make a boxing ring, the pathway to fulfill your dreams

It's my first interview so I am a little nervous

You have nothing to be worried about Shastriji.

When your boxers don't fear anyone in the ring, why would you be any less?

People love real life stories like yours. Get inspired by it

And your story with the Rocky movie angle is a whole chapter in itself

- It's awesome! - Ok. Ok.

Btw, they tell me you are going to America?

Yes sir, my son lives in Ohio.

So now my retired life will be spent in America itself now

Oh, wow. Great!

So now you'll be in Rocky's country.

Why don't you send me a video of you on the Rocky steps once you reach there?

Just like in the Rocky movie, running!

And we can use that shot when we show your interview

Btw, where are these Rocky steps? In Philadelphia?

Yes yes, in Philadelphia

So I'll send you the video of me on the Rocky steps.

No, no I am ready now

Yeah, I am ready.

Ok Shastriji, safe flight.

I'll tell my son about the video as soon as I get there

- Bye. - Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Sir, right in front of the camera. Please

Sir, step away from the camera

- Name? - Shiv Shankar Shastri, Sir

What's your business here in America?

So I am retired the man from bank now in India

Advait

What are you playing son?

What did you say Dada?

What are you playing?

Fortnite

- What night? - Advait, can you explain it properly?

Fortnite's a gun game where you have to do quests

And when you do quests you get XP and you level up

Wow, Even if you go best English medium schools in India

you can never hear this kind of English accent

What's in an American accent Pappa?

You can get a waiter job.

He's stuck to his phone the whole day.

He has time for everything else other than studying.

Don't say that, He is a good boy. Right Advait?

Mmm-hmm

Rahul do you have India TV at home?

India TV? which one?

They are doing an entire episode on me

They want me send them a video of me on the Rocky steps in Philadelphia

You know the Rocky story right?

I've been listening to it since childhood! You and Rocky!

When is your episode airing?

They'll air it just as we send them the video

So cool!

So son, when can we make the video and send it? Whenever you have time

What do they need exactly?

Nothing more than wanting me to get on the steps of Philadelphia

and music plays in the background

Eww Dada, you need a shower

Advait, that's rude. He had a very long journey

That's ok. How many times do you take a shower?

Once

Your father used to take twice!

Once on Monday and once on Saturday!

You wanna pray?

Arjun, I asked to lock him the basement

- Sorry, sorry - You didn't tell me you had a dog!

- Hey grandpa. - Hey Arjun.

How are you?

- How are you? - Why dint you tell me you have a dog?!

- Papa he's friendly. He wont do anything - How can a dog be friendly?

What's the point of keeping a friendly dog?

Nice house, It doesn't look this big in photos

This is your room.

Very nice. Thank you

Why did you take such a long time to come see us

Son, you know I don't like long flights

But now that I'm retired, I'll be staying here only

Where do I put the balloons?

Yeah, tie it here.

Hey, take him away from here

What kind of dog barks at the family members?

Take him away. And why is he in the bedroom?

He should be tied to the gate

Casper, out... now!

The kids were insisting for a dog, that is why we got him.

But don't worry I will send him back to rescue.

No Papa please, you can't return Casper

Advaith, we talked about it you know grandpa doesn't like dogs.

Oh! don't put this on me please they'll think I came and got the dog booted out

Its ok, if the kids like him, then keep him

but I won't let "Capsule" come inside my room.

Papa, their enthusiasm is gone

Thing is, they wanted a dog but nobody wants to take his responsibility

I am the one who has to wash him and feed him and take him out. hm?

Come on! say good night to Papa

- Good night - Good night son.

Ok good night Papa.

- Oh son, come here one minute - yes
