A glance at Randeep Hooda’s social media account reveals his love for wildlife. The actor, who loves to spend his spare time amidst nature, is a professional equestrian. He houses five horses at the Mahalaxmi Race Course and two at his home in Faridabad.

Randeep’s love for nature and wildlife was acknowledged when he was recently chosen to be among the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) Ambassadors for Migratory Species until 2023. Talking about this new role, the actor tells BT, “I have always been interested in animals and wildlife. I have been a part of beach clean-up drives, and now, I am happy to extend my work and focus on oceans and underwater species.”

Once the Coronavirus lockdown ends, and normalcy is restored, Randeep wants to experience ocean life. He says, “I want to dive into the ocean and explore marine life. I want to go scuba diving and see underwater life closely. I hope that I can be a good ambassador.”

On the work front, after collaborating with Imtiaz Ali in Love Aaj Kal, the actor will be seen sharing screen space with Salman Khan in Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. The Prabhudeva-directorial was being shot before the lockdown was implemented.
