MUMBAI (ANI) – Actress Neha Dhupia, currently in Australia with her husband Angad Bedi, is making the most of her trip by catching some live action during the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia.
To make her experience at the stadium even more meaningful, Neha Dhupia paid tribute to her late father-in-law, the legendary cricketer Bishan Singh Bedi, with an emotional gesture. She wore his iconic Test cricket sweater, a precious wedding gift he had given her.
In an Instagram post, Neha Dhupia shared the sentiment behind the gift: “Wearing this sweater has a different kind of warmth… I remember so clearly when dad asked what would you like as a wedding present, I asked him for his test cricket sweater and how it would be the most special gift for me… so here it is. Along with his strength, resilience, integrity, and generosity, I also feel a sense of honor donning this while watching my first Test in person… with my @angadbedi. We miss you every day, Dad.”
Neha Dhupia’s heartfelt post received an outpouring of love, including comments from fellow cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s daughter, Saba, who wrote: “Precious gift of all. I miss Bishan uncle and Abba loads. They’re watching over us… and definitely discussing these matches!!”
