Akash Deep was swept away in emotions
Jyoti told why Akash told everyone about my illness? I do not know this. Perhaps he was swept away in emotions. Akash Deep told that during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Akash used to take time to meet him and come to the hospital to meet him. In this season, Akash Deep played for Lucknow Supergiant. During this, he took three wickets in 6 matches.
Jyoti told that Akash had become very emotional after winning the second Test match and he talked to me on the video call twice. He told that during this time there was talk till 5 am. He said, “I could not stop anymore. I was handling myself for a long time, but could not happen now”.
Handling the responsibility of the whole house
Jyoti told that Akash is the youngest in the house, but is handling the responsibility of the entire family. After the death of father and elder brother, his responsibility has increased. Akash says that everything is for the family of his sisters. Jyoti said that during my treatment he always used to motivate me. Akash’s sister said that when he comes home, he will feed him food of his choice. He likes my hand curd vada very much.
