When it comes to bringing glamour to cricket in current times, Archana Vijaya certainly comes tops.

An athletic upbringing
When I was in school, I was always passionate about sports. My dad was a lot into cricket, so I couldn't escape watching that in the house. I also enjoy watching tennis, soccer and gymnastics. I really like the merit-based culture of sports; you play well, you win, you don't, you lose.

Bollywood and cricket
At the end of the day, everyone likes to see a nice package. In India, it's either Bollywood or cricket. These are the two things that rock everyone's boat. So when they come together, it's like a dream come true. You are watching Sachin hitting the sixes and Shah Rukh on the sideline doing a jig. For a fan, what more could you ask for?


Fitting in Mandira's shoes
