Sachin Tendulkar-Anjali's Airport Love Story: 6 Years Age Gap, Cricketer Dating Her In Disguise More

The 'God Of Cricket', Sachin Tendulkar, has never been an ordinary sportsman. He may have retired from cricket, but his fans are still fans of his gaming style. Apart from having an extraordinary life as a cricketer, he has had a fairytale love story with his wife, Dr Anjali Tendulkar. The couple completed three decades of togetherness on May 26, 1995. He got the title of 'God Of Cricket' when he made an unforgettable debut match against Pakistan at the mere age of 16, and thus, billions of Indian fans became his followers. However, in his real life, without the support of Anjali, Sachin would not have achieved further success in his life.

Sachin, always had an introverted personality when it came to speaking of his personal life. On the field, all his fans and fellow cricketers knew about his professional achievements, but do you know his love story with Anjali? She was born on November 10, 1967 and is a paediatrician, philanthropist and a doting mom to Sara and Arjun Tendulkar.

Sachin Tendulkar met Anjali Tendulkar at the airport

As destiny had it for Sachin and Anjali, it was love at first sight. Their love story started at the Mumbai International Airport. The former cricketer was coming back to India from his international cricket tour in 1990. Anjali, at that time, was at the airport and had come to receive her mom. Both of them had felt a genuine connection with each other at the airport and then had met at a common friend's gathering. Both started getting to know each other better. Anjali, earlier in an interview with PTI, stated she did not know who Sachin was when she first met him. She quipped:

“I first met him at the Mumbai airport when he returned from his first tour of England in 1990, after scoring his maiden Test ton. In fact, when I first saw him at the airport, I didn't even know who he was. It was purely by accident!”

Sachin Tendulkar dated Anjali Tendulkar, as she did not know about cricket

Sachin had just taken his baby step in the cricket field, and Anjali was studying medicine when they met. Anjali was focused on her studies and so had little idea about cricket. Her knowledge related to sports, especially cricket, was next to zero. When Anjali and Sachin started dating, she tried to even brush up on her cricket knowledge. She had mentioned that Sachin loved the fact that she had no idea about the game. Earlier, in an interview with the same publication, Anjali noted:

“I think what he liked about me was that I knew nothing about cricket when I first met him. But then, me being me, I read everything about the game. I came to know all the fielding positions but he doesn't like me discussing cricket at home. But at times when he is low or upset, I do talk to him about cricket. Again, it's not the game but things related to it that we discuss.”

When Sachin Tendulkar used to wear a false beard and meet Anjali Tendulkar

Sachin was famous as soon as he joined cricket. Since the start of his career, due to his fame, he could not go on dates with Anjali without being interrupted by the fans. Anjali, once in an interview with a magazine, shared that they had gone for a movie date along with their friends. Anjali and Sachin had gone to watch Roja and were afraid if he was recognised then they would not enjoy their date. Sachin wanted privacy, so he donned a false beard, specs so that his fans could not recognise him. Anjalio and Sachin entered the theatre during the interval, and during that time, his specs had fallen, and his sea of fans caught him. Both Anjali and he had to exit the theatre in the middle.

When Anjali Tendulkar shared that she did not feel different in her wedding with Sachin Tendulkar

Anjali is the daughter of Ashok Mehta, an industrialist, and married Sachin after dating him for five years. She had said in an interview that she did not know any other person in her life apart from Sachin. He has always respected the sacrifices she had made in her life for him. Age gap never came between Sachin and Anjali's love story. She is six years older than he, but both have been dedicated and loyal to each other. Anjali also left her medical line job to take care of him, the kids, Sara and Arjun Tendulkar.In her words:

 "I understand him so well. So whether I am his girlfriend or his wife, it's the same thing, just an extension of that bond."
