When I was nothing, I did not play the state game. In fact, the first person who believed in me was my father – Nitish Kumar Reddy

“To be honest, my father spent 25 years serving in the central government. When I was nothing, I didn’t actually play the state game. So when I was nothing, my father was the first person who believed in me. He believed in me and quit his job for me.
“He quit his job to take me to the floor, to the gym, everything I wanted, he wanted to be with me. He made a lot of sacrifices. If I had to say it, time would never be enough.” But I’m so grateful to have a father like him.”
I know some people doubted me and wanted to prove them wrong – Nitish Kumar Reddy

And I just want to make them feel wrong about what they said about me.” This is what I do. I want to let people know that I am here to give my 100% for the Indian team.”
