Gautam Gambhir, the Indian head coach, was recently spotted at the airport, where he had a brief but memorable interaction with the paparazzi. As cameras flashed and reporters called out for his attention, Gambhir, known for his candid and no-nonsense attitude, could be heard saying, "Aare bas" signaling a polite but firm request for the photographers to ease up.
This moment quickly caught public attention and circulated on social media, highlighting the challenges public figures face with constant media scrutiny. Gautam Gambhir, who has always maintained a straightforward and approachable demeanor, seemed to want some personal space amid the frenzy.
The phrase "Arey bas," a common Hindi expression meaning "Enough, please," perfectly captured his mood, calm yet assertive. It showed a human side to the cricketing legend, reminding fans that despite his larger-than-life public image, he values moments of privacy just like anyone else.
This incident also sparked conversations about the boundaries between public interest and personal space, especially for celebrities who are constantly in the limelight. Gautam Gambhir’s simple request serves as a gentle reminder for the media to balance their coverage with respect.
As Gambhir continued with his journey, the airport buzzed briefly but then settled, leaving fans appreciative of the glimpse into their favorite sportsman’s real-life reactions away from the cricket field.
'I Will Remove You From The Team...': Sanju Samson Recalls Dressing Room Chat With Gautam Gambhir During A Tough Phase; Video
Sanju Samson recently opened up about the pivotal encouragement he received from Suryakumar Yadav and Gautam Gambhir during a challenging phase in his career. Speaking on the “Kutti Stories with Ash” podcast hosted by Ravichandran Ashwin, Samson recalled how both men played key roles in boosting his confidence and helping him push forward.
Samson shared that the moment came during a Duleep Trophy game in Andhra, where Suryakumar Yadav was also playing. “Surya came to me and said, ‘Chetta, there is a good opportunity coming for you, we have seven games lined up, and I am going to give you all seven games as an opener.’ Hearing that from the captain was a great feeling,” Samson said. True to his word, he was given the chance, but his start wasn’t ideal, as he scored ducks in both games of a series in Sri Lanka.
The poor run left Samson feeling low, but that’s when Gautam Gambhir stepped in. “I was a bit down in the dressing room. Gauti bhai saw me and asked what happened. I told him I didn’t capitalise on my chances. He just said, ‘So? I will remove you from the team only if you score 21 ducks.’ That kind of confidence from a captain and coach helped me to do what I did later on,” Samson revealed.
His reflections highlight how faith and backing from leadership can shape a player’s mindset. The words of support from Suryakumar and Gambhir not only eased the pressure but also laid the foundation for Samson’s resurgence in form, showing the power of trust and belief in cricket’s competitive environment.
