WATCH: Congratulations to Bhupinder Hundal on his new role as the News Director of and Station Manager at Global BC "Back in the 90s, I don't think there were many dastar-dhari [turban wearing] sikhs entering into the mainstream media... "I still pinch myself to think that I am now responsible for a station that is so revered in BC, that has such a long legacy and is celebrating 60 years. To think that I have the opportunity to lead such an organisation is humbling really."
He shares with Darpan's social media host Ish Sharma his broadcast journey of 15 years, what does diversity means with him being in the Director chair as a Punjabi Sikh man, and what to expect in termsof storytelling in the field of journalism in the future.
Phulka’s recent win earned him a spot at the Olympic qualifiers in March where he could compete for the chance to wrestle in the Olympics for Team Canada.
The next major step for Dhesi is the March Olympic qualifiers, and if he does well enough there, he could punch his ticket to Tokyo representing Canada at the 2020 Olympics.
