00:00I sent him a request on Facebook and he accepted it.

00:03I told him that there's a lot of scope, there's a chance.

00:06He started asking me, what do you do?

00:09He hugged me and said, I play for Mumbai Indians.

00:12I thought this angle would be good.

00:15Impressed, nice.

00:16From there, the reply was normal, okay.

00:20Last year, Rohit said that Devshah is the turning point of your life.

00:30I started thinking about how my life changed in 2016-17.

00:44That year I got married.

00:47I was dating my wife for 6 years before that, since 2010-11-12.

00:54She knew that he plays cricket, he's playing domestic tournaments, he also plays IPL.

00:59After getting married, once we were sitting and he realised that all this is fine.

01:04But why isn't your car moving forward?

01:07Yeah.

01:08You're playing well, people are playing for India.

01:11I remember I played with my batchmates in the U23 Asia Cup.

01:15Aksar Patel, Bhoomra, KL Rahul.

01:19I played with all of them.

01:21They all played in 2015-16 and kept moving forward.

01:26We started discussing what we could do better to move forward.

01:33Then we started talking to a nutritionist, a proper batting coach.

01:39In every department, he told us to do something, let's see what happens.

01:44It was a collective decision.

01:45We both decided to control some things.

01:49Stop going out with your friends late at night.

01:52Keep a time limit.

01:54Plan for weekends.

01:55There was no fun when it was cricket time.

01:58So I said, let's try this too.

02:00When I got my debut cap, the first game went well.

02:03I came to my room, I was watching my matches.

02:06People were talking, I was listening to everything.

02:08You guys were talking, I was watching everything in the video.

02:12It was 4 in the morning.

02:14He said, your journey has just started.

02:19Real cricket journey has just started for which you have worked hard for the last 10 years.

02:25This is not the end point.

02:27Enjoy it tonight.

02:30More people will watch you from tomorrow.

02:33So you have to be careful.

02:35Wow.

02:36Recently, when I went to South Africa for the One Day Series,

02:43Rohit said, Devshah is the turning point of your life.

02:46I was even more happy.

02:49Not just me, people are saying the same thing.

02:51How did you guys meet?

02:52You guys met in college.

02:53Correct.

02:54So as soon as you guys met, did you guys open your eyes?

02:57Actually, it's a controversial story.

03:00I was sitting on a cot in college with another girl.

03:05We were sitting and talking.

03:07I was facing on the other side.

03:09She was coming from behind.

03:11My friend called me from behind.

03:12Obviously, the one we were waiting for.

03:13I turned around and saw her.

03:15She said hi to me.

03:16She also said hi to someone on the left.

03:20Then I thought, who is he saying hi to?

03:23When she met me, I asked her, is he your friend?

03:27That's fine.

03:28Is he your friend?

03:30He can at least talk to me.

03:31We'll talk about the rest later.

03:34So he went and talked to her.

03:36The conversation ended in 5 minutes.

03:38She walked away from there.

03:40When he came, I said, there's nothing for you.

03:43Let it be.

03:44At that time, BBM was very popular.

03:46Wow.

03:46I said, at least get me a pin for BBM.

03:49Let's talk later.

03:52He said, okay, I'll try.

03:54The next day, BBM was sending me requests.

03:56The number was declining.

03:58I said, okay, no problem.

04:00Then I sent him a request on Facebook.

04:06He accepted it.

04:08I said, there's a lot of scope.

04:10There's a chance.

04:12She asked, what do you do?

04:14She hugged me and said, I play for Mumbai Indians.

04:19I thought it would be a good angle.

04:21Impressive.

04:23She replied, okay, okay.

04:25I thought, what a cold reply.

04:27I don't understand.

04:29I think it's better to meet.

04:31Then we started talking.

04:33We used to fight a lot.

04:35We used to fight a lot.

04:37We used to talk for 15-20 days.

04:39Somehow, we used to find a way to get back.

04:42Okay, it's done.

04:44Let's take it ahead slowly.

04:46Then the rest is history.
