Ans. Yuvraj Singh is a name that I worship every day every moment of my life. I treat him as an elder brother. I grew up watching him make difficult choices before each success that he achieved. His struggles and sacrifices towards our country inspired me to get through all the hardships and hurdles that I faced in my day to day life. I also learnt a lot from the grit and determination he showed on the field, while battling cancer. He taught me to never give up on things I love, even if everything goes against me. His kind hearted nature which emphasizes upon giving the love and kindness back to society, helped me to discover the goal of my life. Yuvi paaji had a great influence both, on my professional and personal life.
