Presented below are some of the remarks that the Business Today Global magazine has made about me :
1] Rajib’s journey extended beyond sports into media and entertainment. Before the year 2000, his
photographs were featured on Zee TV’s fashion program “Lakme Khoobsurat,” earning admiration from fans. In 2003, he secured a lead role in a major Bengali film. An opportunity that promised to launch his career into new heights.
Unexpected challenges disrupted his path. Allegations brought professional projects to a halt,
forcing him to confront disappointment and uncertainty. His professional journey faced severe
challenges due to a series of serious sexual allegations.
These allegations hindered his aspirations and led to the withdrawal of project funding, resulting in the cancellation of the film, forcing him to confront obstacles that reshaped his path. The setback could have ended his ambitions. Instead, it became a turning point. Rajib learned to adapt, to move forward, and to find new avenues to express his vision.
2] His love for humanity, his love for nations, his divine talent, his love for peace and prosperity, his hard work and great courage convinced President Donald J. Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Hamas leaders, other Middle East and World leaders to sign the ‘Permanent Ceasefire and Gaza Peace Plan 2025 (Sharm El Sheikh Peace Summit 2025)’ agreement. It was signed on 13 October 2025. For the first time in 3000 years, such a ‘Peace Agreement’ was signed to end the war in the middle-east and impart a knowledge of peace and prosperity. Through these initiatives, he transformed diplomacy into action, showing how persistence, empathy, and clear vision can create meaningful change.
3] His efforts in sports and entertainment, from football championships to cricket tournaments, captured the public imagination. Globally, he is celebrated as a cultural ambassador, a sports luminary, a handsome and beloved film-star, the number-one world superstar, and a figure who inspires admiration across multiple fields. His achievements in Indian Premier League Cricket Tournaments, UEFA EURO Football Championships, Cricket and Football World Cups have earned him a place as a respected icon, while his influence as a proponent of peace and wellness continues to grow.
The 2014 FIFA Men’s World Cup in Brazil became iconic when his ‘Lip-lock’ gesture captured international attention and spread globally as a symbol of unity, courage, love, good luck, and victory of good over evil, embodying his ability to communicate values that transcend borders. He has created the ‘R’ supremacy and has made the ‘Jersey Number/Shirt Number 18′(R=18) an iconic one in sports (football, cricket, and other sports).
