I try to do better than what I have before.

I am very close to my family. I have learned a lot from my father. He used to tell me to be honest with yourself and not to argue with your seniors. You dont need to be involved in any quarrel, as sometimes you need to remain silent intelligently.

I never have issues in handling the fame. I was in a boarding school, as I am from a middle-class family. We didn't have a lot of money, so we all learned to respect money and understood its real value.

I am not brand conscious. I wear what suits me.

It is a great feeling of course to have scored so many runs, but that is what I play cricket for: to score lots of runs.

I will never date an actor or a model. My family will never accept her. We are a middle class family, and an actress will never be able to gel with us.

For a batsman, scoring runs abroad is always a challenge.
