South Indian actress Aditi Dravid differs from most celebrities who dedicate time from their hectic schedules to support their favourite teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Aditi is well-known for her roles in Marathi TV serials such as Mazhya Navreya Chi Bayko and Sundara Manahan Bharli, earning her a place in the hearts of Marathi audiences.
Aditi’s opinion on IPL is different from most people’s. In a recent interview with Amuk Tumuk, Aditi revealed that “cricket is a patriotic game” for her. Aditi’s passion for the sport comes from her father, who was a professional cricketer. However, she doesn’t enjoy watching the IPL.
Aditi recalled how, during matches between India and Pakistan, her family never moved from their place, fearing that if they did, a wicket would fall. But, she has a different perspective on the IPL.
Aditi believes that “IPL is a mixed bag”, and the fact that players from different nations play in the same team often confuses her about which side to support.
Talking about her earlier days, she explained how Australian players used to boast about the number of majors they had won. Aditi now finds it upsetting to see them play in different IPL teams. This is the reason behind her dislike for IPL.
Although it may disappoint her fans to know that their beloved actress has no fondness for IPL, it doesn’t mean she isn’t a cricket fan. Aditi is proud of her connection with Rahul Dravid, the former Indian cricketer and current head coach of Team India.
