In many pro sports events we have seen Bollywood actresses like Priety Zinta, Shilpa Shetty involved in ownership of their respective teams in IPL Cricket. Then we have also seen Abhishek Bachchan owning football as well as Pro kabaddi teams. And now, for the first time a Marathi artiste has come forward to own a sports team. Yes, it is Sai Tamhankar who has purchased a team ‘Kolhapur Mavale‘ in the Maharshtra Kusti Dangal league. With Sai Tamhankar owning this team, the Kusti league will surely bring glamour to this sports.

Sai Tamhankar is the only woman to own a team in this pro Kusti league. Reacting to her new role, Sai says, ” I belong to a place like Sangli and hence I am well aware of the Kusti culture of neighbouring place Kolhapur. And I am well conversant with the moves of this game. My intention of buying a team is that no Kusti player should suffer because of finance. They also deserve good money.” Even otherwise, Sai is also Known for attempting something different and this is the best example.
