Former Ace spinner and World Champion, Harbhajan Singh recently shared his exhilarating journey, from his iconic dance celebration after the World Cup Final 2011 to exclusive insights into his life, including the captivating stories behind his tattoos/ his all-time favorite Rajnikanth dialogue, and what it truly means to be the heartbeat of a cricket-crazy nation.
Host Sumedha Malhotra spoke to Harbhajan Singh, aka Bhajji for his fans, for an intimate and humorous dialogue. The host kicked off the show with a playful jab, asking which profile of his is best. Harbhajan responds with a chuckle, “Put it behind me. My back looks better; my face isn’t that popular with people.”
The conversation shifted seamlessly towards being blunt, in line with the sensational podcast series. Sumedha prods Harbhajan to say a dialogue in Tamil, as blunt as he can, in an attempt to showcase his unique talents. Laughing, the cricket star responds with the world-famous Rajnikanth dialogue: “Naan oru thadava sonna, nooru thadava sonna maadiri.” (If I say it once, it’s like saying it 100 times).
Moving to cricket, Harbhajan explained, “Cricket is a religion in this country. You’re worshipped and cursed. I can’t say what’s different, but it’s very popular. Every child wants to be a cricketer, every family dreams of it. Even if the child doesn’t want to be a cricketer, they’ll watch cricket. The game’s love is long-standing.”
About cricket, practicing in any condition, even under scooter headlights. Tune in for an unforgettable episode titled “Harbhajan Singh Unplugged: Cricket, Controversy, Commentary, World Cup,” as part of the Bluntly Streaming podcast series by Sumedha on YouTube and Spotify.
