Virat Kohli’s friend’s mother reveals his childhood Dream
Indian batter Virat Kohli is already among the greatest cricketers in the world. His consistency and urge to score more and more runs have already made him the legend of the game. He is only behind Sachin Tendulkar to have the most numbers of international centuries, with 75 in his name. Meanwhile, he is also the fastest cricketer to achieve the milestone of 25,000 international runs.
Kohli is currently in Delhi with his IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore for the upcoming clash against Delhi Capitals on May 6th at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. In Delhi, Kohli met his childhood coach Rajkumar Sharma, along with his childhood friend Shalaj Sondhi and his mother Neha Sondhi.
In the latest episode of RCB Bold Diaries on YouTube, the conversation between Kohli and his childhood friend was shared to treat his fans with his untold childhood stories. Shalaj’s mother Neha also revealed what Kohli once told him during his childhood. Kohli developed an emotional bond with Sondhi and his mother during childhood. Sondhi’s mother recalled an incident where Kohli told her that one day he would marry a heroine.
‘Now you see, as per destiny that happened’ – Sondhi’s mother
“Once near Madan Lal Academy, there was a big poster of a movie or an ad. He saw that and said, ‘One day I’ll become a very big person and I’ll marry a heroine.’ Now you see, as per destiny that happened. Now, when I think of it, it feels great,” she said.
Notably, Kohli got married to a famous Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma in 2017 and the couple has been blessed with a daughter in January 2021. They ended up naming her Vamika. Sondhi’s mother also shared the details of a visit to Kohli’s residence on Shalaj’s birthday.
“We went there [Kohli’s residence] and from far he saw me and I knew he hadn’t forgotten me. He said, ‘Aunty how can I forget you? I ate food that you made.’ All those fond memories remain. Anushka met us as well,” she said.
Along with this, Sondhi also revealed a scrapbook he had during childhood where Kohli mentioned that his aim is to become an Indian Cricketer.
“I have one precious thing with me. That’s a scrapbook, which was filled by Virat Kohli in 2002-03. In that, there is a column of ‘What is your ambition?’ He mentioned – ‘I want to represent Indian cricket team,” said Sondhi about the scrapbook.
