“So, kettle toh is already boiled. Every morning I did this, even during my playing days. I would make my own tea in the room. The last thing I wanted was someone coming to my room and saying, ‘Sir, your tea is ready.’ Nahi, I like making things on my own. Khelte hoye match ke pehle I didn’t want anyone to enter my room. Ghar mein bhi vohi aadat hai. I like making my own stuff. It’s peaceful and enjoyable. Enjoy your tea also. Bye for now.”
