Tendulkar asked to appear in Zee's 'Saibaba'

BY VICKEY LALWANI

World's best batsman Sachin Tendulkar has been asked to appear in Zee's Saibaba telecast on Sundays at 9 am.

Saibaba which went on air from September 2004 is produced by sports promoter, hotelier, film producer Aushim Khetrapal.

Confirming this, Khetrapal speaking from Delhi said, "It's a small thing really. The show is based on a much bigger concept than a celebrity.

It's a reality based show anyway. Like we have other people talking about the miracles in their life owing to Saibaba, Sachin too will narrate a similar account. Like recently, we had producer Vimal Kumar's wife talking about a recent experience.

Sachin is a strong devotee of Saibaba. I know for a fact that he has had a brush with Saibaba. We share the same birth date 24 April and I know Sachin personally. My team is in constant touch with him and he has agreed to participate.

However I cannot say when exactly he would be seen. It could be this month or maybe the next."

So, cricket lovers have to wait eh?
