I love wearing whatever is comfortable, and that could be something which was in trend years ago. So, I don't follow fashion.
My shopping habits... I am not very brand-conscious about clothes. I buy whatever looks good on me. Likewise, I don't just shop only in malls or high-end stores.
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.
In cricket, my superhero is Sachin Tendulkar. He has always been my hero and will continue to remain so. Apart from him and outside cricket, my mother has remained my inspiration. Whatever difficult time I had faced, she was always there for me. She has given me all the strength. She maintained her composure and supported me in tough times.
Becoming an inspiration for kids is great. I want to inspire them to do whatever they want to.
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 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'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.
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 love playing under pressure. In fact, if there's no pressure, then I'm not in the perfect zone.
I am a fan of the 'Rocky' films, and 'Rocky 4' is my favourite. I also like 'The Warriors.'
Endorsements are a reward for good performance on the field, and the commitments made after signing them need to be done.
