I'm not someone who sits at home and doesn't like to go out, doesn't like to watch movies. I like to live my life.
I really want a movie made on Sachin Tendulkar's life. That is something I'm looking forward to. There will be so much emotion to that movie.
I'm not a nerd, obviously. Do I look like one? I'm not someone who sits at home and doesn't like to go out, doesn't like to watch movies. I like to live my life.
I want to be relaxed in my personal life. I really don't like to be hassled.
It was a personal decision for me to stand and say that cricket is all I have in life, there's nothing I need to do other than cricket. If I want to achieve whatever I thought as a kid, I need to work hard and not let it go to waste.
I've never fought with anyone. A lot of people talk to me, and they're like, 'Oh, you would have been fighting all the time when you were younger,' but I'm like, 'I never fought with anyone because I always knew that if I hurt myself, I might lose important time in my cricket career,' so I never got into any fight, ever in my life.
My superhero has always been Tendulkar, and it will be Tendulkar for life. He is someone who has inspired me immensely. Just watching him play for India, I used to dream of winning games for India, because he used to do it single handedly.
The bat is not a toy, it's a weapon. It gives me everything in life, which helps me to do everything on the field.
I feel only my friends and family need to know what is happening in my personal life.
Life is what happens in-between the mother and the sister
You just feel a little odd when you don't get your kind of food. Fortunately, there are Indian restaurants all over the world.
I'm not a nerd, don't plan to be a nerd and read books - which I can't do at all.
I'm a big fan of Aamir Khan... Among actresses, I like Aishwarya Rai.
I wasn't very good in academics, but I could have been if I could have studied well. I was a smart kid.
