SPORT TENDULKAR ANJALI 3 LST

"With Sachin not around and me with two kids at home, it
wouldn't have been possible. I took a decision and I have
never, ever regretted it," Anjali said.
Tendulkar completes 20 years of international cricket on
Sunday and Anjali said she still can't stop herself from
getting tensed when he comes out to bat, so much so that she
doesn't even get up to take a phone call when he is at the
crease.
"Actually, I have one particular spot in the house from
where I can watch TV and also keep an eye on my Ganpati
(Ganesha). I don't eat. I don't answer phones. I don't drink.
I don't even move. I don't reply to any sms until he's out,"
she said.
Nineteen years of knowing the cricketer India worships,
Anjali said she has learnt to deal with the pulls and
pressures that come with being his better half.
"For me, it's very easy because I've known Sachin for
19 years now. I understand him so well. So whether I am his
girlfriend or his wife, it's the same thing, just an extension
of that bond. I don't find it very difficult and I'm used to
it.
"Maybe, it's also because I've not known any other person
in my life except Sachin. Of course, there are many challenges
and difficulties to being his wife but the whole family,
including my children, has learnt to deal with it," she said.
But Anjali wishes that Tendulkar doesn't have to spend so
much time away from his home and two young children. PTI
