Former India cricketer Virender Sehwag is stepping into a new role as host of reality show Rise & Fall 2, which premieres on September 26. It’s a move even he didn’t initially see coming. “I refused to even do an interaction for the show. I believed it would be very difficult for me to host a show, which is not about cricket,” he tells us. It was only after meeting the makers and understanding that they wanted him to bring his own personality to the show that he decided to take up the challenge. His sons were equally surprised by the decision. How can you host a show? There are big fights here. How will you do it?’” he recalls.
“They said, ‘Dad, what are you doing?
I won’t pick a particular name.” When asked if he would like his own life to be turned into a biopic, Sehwag is quick to say, “Yes, why not! And what would have to make the cut? “I would let the producer and director decide that. Nowadays, everyone is good.
“My love story is definitely something that should be included,” he says. Sehwag says he would leave that decision to the filmmakers While he is not particular about who should play him.
