'Fans touching my feet is awkward'

By Super Admin

Mumbai, Feb 18: Sachin Tendulkar may be demi god for many of his fans but fans touching his feet is very uncomfortable for the master blaster.

"I used to receive letters written in blood...but not any more. It feels strange when a fan comes and touches your feet and says you are God. I don't feel comfortable with it, but it is the way they feel about you...that happened again just a couple of weeks ago actually," he says.

The thoughts of retirement is still far for Sachin. When asked about his retirement plan in an interview, he said: "That's a big question. I don't know...I will definitely be involved with the game. When I retire, that is when the doors to other opportunities will open. As of now, other than just promoting various products, I haven't opened the door to anything else. Maybe I'll start a business," he said.

Sachin is of the opinion that criticism is hardly ever constructive. Reminiscing last year Dec 31st, where he spent an entire day with his family without watching any sport, Sachin told "On December 31 last year. I spent time with my family in Mussoorie about 7,000 feet above sea level looking at the snow-capped mountains. It was freezing and we went for a long walk. I was a fantastic feeling. That was the day when I didn't watch sports at all."

Master blaster's recent prank was played with his team mate Yuvraj Singh.."..a while ago, we had gone to a restaurant and we actually fooled Yuvraj Singh. We put wasabi on a toast and told him it was a delicious spread that he must try. He almost ate it. We stopped him at the last minute", he laughed.
