SPORT TENDULKAR LD ANJALI 2

"I think what he liked about me was that I knew nothing
about cricket when I first met him. But then, me being me, I
read everything about the game. I came to know all the
fielding positions but he doesn't like me discussing cricket
at home. But at times when he is low or upset, I do talk to
him about cricket. Again, it's not the game but things related
to it that we discuss," Anjali said.
Anjali gave up her promising medical career to be
Tendulkar's "biggest support" and after 14 years of marriage,
she doesn't regret her decision one bit.
"Though I loved every moment of my studying days and my
days at the government hospital, it then came to a stage when
I realised that I could not be married to Sachin and also have
a full-time career. It wasn't possible because he depends on
me for almost everything. It was my decision. I thought I
should be at home with him and make everything perfect for
him," she recalled.
"In his childhood, brother Ajit did everything for
Sachin, sacrificing his own interests. I thought I should do
the same. Besides, mine would not have been a 9 to 5 job. I'm
a paediatrician, so if there's a patient calling me or someone
admitted at odd hours, I have to make myself available", she
said.
"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. MORE PTI
