"He was saying how his mother used to pack 'gond ke laddoo' for him whenever he went for any tournament and the size of the laddoo used to be as big as a cricket ball. Since he used to not have a lot of food during the match, he used to happily fill his stomach with one laddoo and one litre of milk."
Sehwag also prepared a cup of tea for Sakshi, who described it as "very tasty". She said Sehwag's gesture of being a guest and offering tea to the host was "really sweet".
"He also gave a helping hand to me in cooking. He grated some radish and carrots. I think he has a keen interest in cooking," said the actress.
