Talking about the same, the cricketer recalled an old incident and said, “We were traveling in a car and that time an Amul ad was there. Amul had come out with a great ad. So, instead of ‘a couple of these’, they said ‘Kapil of these make all the difference’, with my two teeth coming out with butter. So that ad, it was very funny and I said to my better half, ‘Rom, iska photo le lo (Romi, take it’s a picture).’ She said, ‘Kyu? (Why).’ I said We will show this to our kids.’ So she said, ‘Are you proposing?’ I said, ‘what’s it sound like?’

Apart from this, the former Indian cricket team captain also made revelations about the problems he faced after he proposed to Romi. Kapil said that Romi’s father and grandfather reacted to his profession of being a cricketer. He said that Romi’s father completely accepted his profession but her grandfather couldn’t understand the fact that a person could play cricket for a living. He said that “when my father-in-law talked to his father that the boy plays cricket, then he was like that playing cricket is okay but what does he do to earn a living?.”
