The 'Kick' and 'Once upon a time in Mumbai' actor is known as one of the most expressive actors on screen, but a unique factor that sets him apart from the rest of Bollywood is his love for horses.

Unknown to many, Randeep is a professional polo player and has taken to the sport quite seriously in the last couple of years. He owns nearly half a dozen horses in Mumbai and whenever he has some free time, the actor enjoys racing. He has even won several medals in the sport of polo.

In a bid to spread the game's reach and to educate people about the sport, Hooda bought his own polo team which he later named 'Royal Roosters' in 2013. The actor has taken part in several contests with his team and has also roped in other jockeys from around the world to represent it.
