"From 1996, I have been watching cricket. I have been loving Sachin Tendulkar ever since. I used to go mad whenever Tendulkar scored a ton. However, whenever he got out on 99, I used to be heartbroken for the next couple of days," Rathod revealed during the show.
Rathod also went on to add that on most occassions he used to get interrupted by his daughter while watching the great man bat. His daughter wanted to watch cartoon and being a hardcore cricket fan, Rathod wanted to watch Tendulkar bat and while quarreling with his daughter he also broke a couple of TV remotes.
"I used to sit in front of the TV one hour before a match starts. I used to pray for Tendulkar before every match. Sachin is the reason for my joy and my pain," he said.
Rathod is a teacher by profession and won Rs 25,00,000 before he decided to quit the show.
