Hearing that question, Dhawan had the huge laugh at first and then he said, “Rohit ka kya hai? Acha baap ban chuka hai. Batting ka baap ya waise baap? Pehle toh Rohit ke liye bahut khush hoon ki wo baap ban gaya hai, uske liye aur uski wife ke liye. Of course, wo badaa khush hai. I’m sure he’ll be a great father. (Has Rohit become the father of batting or in his personal life? I am very happy for him and his wife for becoming parents. He is himself very happy. I’m sure he’ll be a great father).”
