He further added, “That was something that changed my mindset completely. I was very closed, rigid, did not have an understanding of things that well. She made me realize a lot of things that are to do with the larger picture. My responsibility as a player, with who I am today and what that brings along with it. Setting an example for people in the right manner, the realization of all these things has come from being with Anushka. I will always give her full credit for that.”
