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.
