Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli is one of the active persons who always trend on the internet for all good reasons. Recently, once again he was in news after he guided his team to an emphatic win over Sri Lanka in 2nd Test.
Another person who is trending currently is Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar. She bought an end to country’s dry spell of 17 years at the top pageant contest. The young lady won the pageant in China and won many hearts when she said mothers deserve to be the highest paid persons in the world.
She has been in the news ever since and has made several public appearances after coming back to India. Once imagine if the two celebrities get together on a single stage. The two met each other at an event in the national capital on Thursday.
Manushi like over a billion Indians loves cricket and seems to be inspired by Virat Kohli, the current captain of Team India. The duo shared a common stage at the CNN-IBN Indian of the Year 2017 Awards night. Manushi took the opportunity to ask a question to the man who sets new records with incredible frequency across all three formats.
At the event, the 20-year-old from Haryana, who is a medical student, asked Kohli, “You are one of the best batsmen in the world today. You have been such an inspiration and you have really given a lot to the society. But there are a lot of young people who draw inspiration from you. How would like to give back, especially to children in the field of cricket?”
Manushi’s question for Virat was how he intends to give back to the game and the well-spoken superstar replied with a crisp answer. Kohli, who has changed the mindset of Indian players ever since he took over the captaincy, replied,
“What’s very important to understand is, when you do what you do, and you express yourself on the field, it has to be genuine, it has to be from the heart. Otherwise, people find out that you are trying to pretend and they can never connect to you. I have never tried to be anyone else. I have always been myself. I have always mentioned people had a lot of issues with how I was, how I conducted myself. I never had problems with that. The moment I started to think that I need to change, is the only time that I changed.”
The captain also stressed on the fact that people should not lose their personal identity, as they won’t be able to inspire others by trying to be someone else. “Everyone has to go through a mutual process to be where they get in life, to become more mature. What’s very important to understand is that one should never lose their identity, character, and personality. Because if you try to be someone else, you can never succeed and you can never inspire others,” he added.
