And during the chit chats, he casually asked me about my hometown and when I mentioned Kerala, he immediately took me to our director and introduced me. He said, тАШYe mere gaav se hai.тАЩ That gesture made me understand his love for Kerala and its people. Also, John and I bonded over two things – fitness and football! He is very passionate about fitness and so am I. He owns the NorthEast United FC and is a hardcore football fan. I had played football during my college days and I follow the matches very closely.
