When I was 12 years old and Mandira Bedi was hosting the World Cup, I was really inspired and wanted to do the same. Me and dad really tried to convince my mom to let me quit school and do this. So it has been a childhood dream for me. And cricket has been a sport that I have been obsessed with.”
And therefore, being on the identical stage as famend cricketers of the world is a matter of satisfaction for her. “Discussing cricket with people such as Harsha Bhogle, Virendra Sehwag, Zaheer Khan, Shawn Pollock, Michael Vaughan and a lot of international players is too exciting for me.

Otherwise, I watch it in the studios with these great cricketers.”
