In an old interview, she was quoted saying, "Sachin treats me like his mother and I always pray for her like a mother. I can never forget the day when he called me 'aai' (mother) for the first time. I had never imagined that. It was pleasant surprise for me and I feel blessed to have a son like him." Keep spreading smiles, you two legendary personalities.
