Ravichandran Ashwin has become a force to reckon with, especially when India play Test on home soil. Right now the 36-year-old is providing his services to Rajasthan Royals (RR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

His childhood friend and wife Prithi Ashwin who married the off-spinner in 2011, recently opened up about their relationship on AJIO Match Center Live’s ‘Hangout’ on JioCinema. The conversation was hosted by Sania Mirza, Veda Krishnamurthy, and Danish Sait and they asked Prithi about her relationship with Ashwin.

Prithi recalled that she and Ashwin went to the same middle school together and that’s how they got to know each other but they grew up, become adults and both started doing their own stuffs. “I was working at an events company. He had a massive crush on me, and the whole school knew it…He moved schools to pursue cricket and we were in touch on and off, birthdays, neighborhood, like that. I met him again when I was handling CSK’s account and suddenly I saw him as a six-footer. We knew each other from Grade 7.“

She then described the way Ashwin simply asked her out after being acquaintances for over 10 years. “Once he took me to a cricket ground and he’s a straight shooter. He said, ‘I’ve kinda liked you all my life and it hasn’t changed over 10 years. We’re adults and let’s try this,” Prithi added.
