Ayushmann Khurrana: `He has always been my idol.My first memorable moment was when Sachin Tendulkar got out in the semi-finals of 1996 World Cup against Sri Lanka, and the entire Indian team had embarrassingly crumbled.My brother and I had wept because of that loss.My second memorable moment with him was when I anchored the IPL Season 3 and was on field constantly with the cricketers. His presence alone was enough for a diehard fan like me.`


Apoorva Lakhia: `I have 3 memorable Sachin incidents. The first was when he got hit by Waqar's bouncer on his nose when he was on his first tour to Pakistan in 1989 at age 16. His nose was bloodied. He stood there, shook it off and later took Waqar for three consecutive 4s.

My second Sachin moment was in Sharjah. There was a huge sandstorm and both teams ran into the pavilion. Sachin stood there in the middle of the pitch in the middle of the dust like Lawrence Of Arabia resting on his bat. Once the storm died the Sachin storm began. He scored 132 runs and won the finals. My third Sachin memory is at the Hero Cup finals against South Africa. It was the last over , with 8 runs left for them to win.Azharuddin, Kapil and gang were in a conference as to who will bowl last over. Sachin grabbed the ball from Azharuddin, bowled and gave 5 runs and wicket. India won`


Aftab Shivdasani: `My ultimate Sachin moment would be the moment he lifted the World Cup finally in 2011 on his home-ground.`


Pooja Bedi: `My memory of Sachin...of him coming to toddler pre-school sitting in class and participating with his kids along with the other parents. He was so down-to-earth, so caring, a good and responsible parent.`


Mandira Bedi: `My most vivid memory of Sachin is from when I met him for the first time. It was in his restaurant in the year 2004.And I was speechless. I do remember that as he entered his restaurant half the patrons stood up.That's the kind of awe and affection he has always evoked.`
