Former Indian cricket team captain Rahul Dravid is surely an inspiration for many young players and during his playing days, he had a huge fan following, especially among the girls. His innocent looks and good behaviour bowled over many girls.
Recently, in a candid chat with famous stand up comedian Vikram Sathaye, for his show named ‘What the Duck‘, Dravid shared an interesting story about one of his female fan who was not willing to leave his house.
It started with Sathaye’s question to Dravid over his female fan following and said, “Every mother wanted you to be her son-in-law. Somewhere, you gave an impression that you would make a great husband. And your colleagues tell me that you have a lot of female following. Any interesting stories there?” Also Read: Watch Rahul Dravid talk about Lionel Messi and Roger Federer’s mindset
In return, Dravid answered it very gently as always, “I had come back, I think from a long tour, just come back and I had gone off to sleep after sort of reaching home in the morning and I was sleeping through the afternoon. I got up in the evening and my mom said, ‘there is a fan waiting for you.’ She has come all the way from Hyderabad and been waiting there for about an hour and my parents had given her tea and coffee. She was just sitting there waiting for me. I went there and gave her the usual autograph, photograph and said, Hello, How are you? Oh, you have come from Hyderabad. It’s great.”
The interesting part of the story came when Dravid revealed that the girl refused to leave his house by stating that she had already left her for him and wanted to stay in his house. Dravid was quite shocked and then asked, “How is that possible? Where are your parents? Obviously, I got a bit upset at that stage.” Also Read: Why Rahul Dravid did not become the head coach of Team India
The story so far had surprise, shocking and tense moments and now it was time for a bit funnier part. Dravid said, “I think it was a little bit of wake-up call for my parents as well. It was one of those things, which was not ideal kind of situation. But, it all ended up well. So, it was ok.”
