00:00I will say that no one can separate us.
00:03Our friendship is of 10 and 11 years.
00:06I will say that the master blaster who has got the name,
00:09I gave that name.
00:11This is the beginning of Sachin Tendulkar.
00:20I still remember when I was in Sharda Ashram,
00:23my school, Sharda Ashram Vidya Mandir.
00:26I still remember that when I was selected,
00:30I was selected in the first go.
00:34But I still remember that there was a 10 year old boy,
00:40fair skinned, with curly hair.
00:45Who could that be?
00:48So I still remember.
00:52He is Sachin Tendulkar.
00:56Everyone will ask me, who is Sachin?
01:01I will say that I don't know Sachin.
01:05I only know the master blaster who has got the name.
01:10I will tell people that the master blaster who has got the name,
01:15I gave that name.
01:18When I saw him for the first time, he was 10 years old.
01:23When he came for the first trial,
01:27he was not selected during the trial.
01:30People don't know.
01:32What was told in the movie is true.
01:35Sachin, Billion Dreams, the movie.
01:38It was told that a 10 year old boy came.
01:43What did he do?
01:45He was not playing properly.
01:47First trial.
01:49Sir used to say that if you are not able to play cricket,
01:55then you go and study.
01:58So it happened that Sachin was told that.
02:02Then the next day he came back.
02:05His brother Ajit Tendulkar came and requested sir.
02:10Sir, please give him another chance.
02:13And after getting that chance,
02:16the way Sachin Tendulkar was batting,
02:21the way the master was batting,
02:24I said wow.
02:26This is the beginning of Sachin Tendulkar.
02:31So this experience,
02:33because when we met for the first time,
02:36we were 10 and 11 years old.
02:39And the friendship that we have,
02:42and will remain,
02:44is like Jai Veeru.
02:46So I will say that no one can separate us.
02:50The friendship that we have,
02:52is of 10 and 11 years.
02:54And now we both are so old.
02:57But the hard work,
03:01people should know that
03:04our hard work,
03:06the dreams we had,
03:08they do come true.
