Rajudas, who holds the record of breaking TV remotes while quarrelling with his daughter in fear of missing his icon’s match, revealed on the game show that his lifelong wish was to meet the God of cricket, Sachin Tendulkar.
Interestingly, Sachin also took notice of his request and took to Twitter to promise to grant him his wish. What happened next is something that Rathod had never dreamt of.
Kaun Banega Crorepati 9 in association with Sachin Tendulkar’s app 100 MB surprised Rajudas Rathod by setting up a meeting on October 18 in Mumbai with the master blaster himself. It is biggest Diwali gift that Mr. Rathod has received so far.
A source present during the meeting revealed, “It was an exciting and an emotional day for Rajudas Rathod, who finally got a chance to meet his icon Sachin Tendulkar. Overwhelmed with this gesture, Rajudas couldn’t control his emotions. To his surprise, Sachin spoke about how he watched the episode and felt blessed with the love he showered upon him. Further to thank Rajudas for the cake’s he cut on Sachin’s birthdays, Sachin requested to cut a cake to compensate all the celebrations.
