Why Anjali Sacrificed Her Career For Sachin

Why Anjali Sacrificed Her Career For Sachin

Rediff.com3 Oct 2024

Anjali is an all-or nothing person and she couldn't have just dabbled in doctoring. Moreover, she wanted to devote herself to keeping her husband in the right frame of mind to play his best cricket. A fascinating excerpt from Annabel Mehta and Georgina Brown's book, My Passage to India.
