All these guys, we have a created one environment where there has to be someone who shows the real-life, not the bubble life. We don’t like to do sugar coating. In our house, there is no Hardik Pandya the cricketer, Krunal Pandya, the cricketer. In our family, there are few things that are supposed to happen, and some are not,” Hardik further added.
