"I have delayed my shoots many times to watch Sachin bat"
Amitabh Bachchan
1) Sachin Was a ballboy during the 1987 World Cup on the Indian subcontinent.
2)On 24 May 1995, at the age of 22, Tendulkar married Anjali, who is six years older to him.
3)Tendulkar sponsors 200 underprivileged children every year through Apnalaya, a Mumbai-based NGO
4)Sachin is a member of Rajya Sabha of Parliament of India. "Cricket comes first," Tendulkar said when reporters asked whether he preferred cricket to parliament.
5)Used a very heavy bat throughout his career usually around 1.5 kilograms (3.2-3.3 pounds).
6)Sachin Failed in 10th standard in 1988
7)His first car was Maruthi 800
8)In commemorating Tendulkar's feat of equalling Don Bradman's 29 centuries in Test Cricket, automotive giant Ferrari invited Tendulkar to receive a Ferrari 360 Modena from the F1 world champion Michael Schumacher. India's then finance minister Jaswant Singh said, the government will waive customs duty imposed on the car as a measure to applaud his feat. But rules at that time was that the customs duty can be waived only when receiving an automobile as a prize and not as a gift. The rule was changed for him and passed as a law in May 2003. Subsequently the Ferrari was allowed to be brought to India without payment of the customs duty (1.13 crore (US$205,660). When the move to waive customs duty became public in July 2003, political and social activists protested the waiver and filed a PIL in Court. With the controversy snowballing, FIAT INDIA agreed to pay the import duty.
9)True to his promise and character, he refused a mega offer to endorse a liquor brand. Experts say it is the highest-ever deal for an Indian sportsperson.
10)He was offered a residence by govt. The accommodation was just opposite to that of Rahul Gandhi's. However, he has politely turned down the offer.
