Watching The 36th Chamber of Shaolin transformed the life of Kanishka Sharma.

It inspired him to take up martial arts at the age of seven, and Kanishka can now proudly look back over a career spanning 26 years in the same.

"Martial arts teaches you to be strong, but it also teaches you to be humble," says Kanishka. "Shaolin says if you know how to hurt someone, then you should also know how to heal someone."

Kanishka's Shaolin expertise has led him to be called in to train Bollywood stars like Priyanka Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan (for Don) and Abhishek Bachchan (for Game).

"Priyanka is an incredibly fast learner," says Kanishka. "She's as flexible as rubber! As for SRK, everybody knows he's a hard worker."

Abhishek comes in for a fair share of praise too.

"As an individual, Abhishek is highly knowledgeable. He knows a lot about warfare and it is a pleasure to interact with him," says Kanishka.

Not just behind the scenes, Kanishka has enjoyed a bit of the limelight too, with a role in the John Abraham-starrer Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal. But he asserts, "As long as the project is good, I don't care if it's in front of or behind the camera."

Kanishka says there are a lot of misconceptions about martial arts: "The type of martial arts that are practiced today are all sports forms. They can only get you gold medals in a tournament, they don't teach you how to save a life on the street."
