Celebrating Teachers' Day, Sachin Tendulkar shared a heartfelt message about his father Ramesh Tendulkar, emphasizing the home-grown mentorship that shaped his character and cricket career. He recalled his father's advice to accept failure but never cheat, and highlighted the value of mentors in unlocking potential.
