Shihan Hussaini a man known to have a plethora of talents ranging from martial arts and archery coaching to being a television host and more is now facing a grave health crisis. Recently Hussaini revealed his blood cancer and aplastic anaemia diagnosis. In an interview with Galatta he talked about his health crisis and struggles with the disease and made a request to his former students—Pawan Kalyan and Vijay.
In the conversation Hussaini said that he desperately needs two units of blood every single day. He said “I can’t go on like this I know. I am selling my training centre which is like a temple to me to ensure I am taken care of till I am there.”
In order to survive and avoid a financial crisis Hussaini had a special request for his student Pawan Kalyan and asked him to buy the training centre—his “temple” as he calls it. “You know I was the one who named him Pawan. I know if it reaches his ears he’d pay heed to my words Hussaini said.
The martial arts teacher further expects that if Kalyan buys the training centre he would continue running it. Recalling the old days Hussaini said that it was him who gave Kalyan the name Pawan. He further revealed that back in the day when Pawan was a student he used to clean the centre and even bring him tea.
Apart from Kalyan Hussaini also made a request to actor-turned-politician Vijay. Interestingly Vijay is also a student of Hussaini and he trained the actor for the film Badri which was the official remake of Pawan Kalyan’s Thammudu.
Hussaini mentioned that he urged Vijay to keep the Olympic dream alive and soaring. Hussaini said “I wish Vijay in some capacity ensures that every home in Tamil Nadu has an archery enthusiast and someone who would go on to represent the State and the country in various events including the Olympics.”
