Words of wisdom from India's Greatest All-Rounder.
What are you doing these days?
One day on the golf course, the founder of the Khushii Foundation told me that they want to do something for the education of the underprivileged. The coffee table discussion turned into something big, and I’m actively involved with the cause now, apart from my golf and family business.
What does success mean to you?
When you’re young, you have different ambitions and after whatever success you achieve in a particular phase of life, you tend to move on. I’ve had my own moments of joy, but I still feel that success is being able to do what you’re passionate about. The love and admiration that you receive from fans is also a fair measurement of success for me.
Who is the most memorable person you’ve met?
There’s a bunch of them – Nelson Mandela, Indira Gandhi, Mother Teresa and APJ Abdul Kalam. These are the sort of people you meet and realise that they’ve done something good for the world. I wish I could have met Mahatma Gandhi.
