@sachin_rt @imVkohli @MangteC I won all my tiebreakers wearing the same (pink printed kurta and beige pants) . I also won all the games I played in it. I don't want to rate myself. I just like to wear nice clothes. Who doesn't!.

@sachin_rt @imVkohli @MangteC I just wear what I feel good in, and sometimes, I get superstitious about it. So this tiebreaker dress (pink printed kurta and beige pants) was definitely the superstitious one.

@sachin_rt @imVkohli @MangteC Any recent movie you have watched?. I am not a movie person, so I don't think that I have watched any movies recently. How do you choose the clothes you wear? Where do you rank yourself on a scale of 1-5 in fashion sense?.

@sachin_rt @imVkohli @MangteC Your favourite country?.My favourite is Greece. I don't know why, I want to go there again. It's very beautiful with amazing food. I have been there 3-4 times, and I want to go there again. During events, I am so engrossed in chess that I don’t get time to visit tourist spots.

@sachin_rt @imVkohli @MangteC Are you confident travelling by yourself, or do you still need your parents with you?. I am definitely confident enough to do it. I love having my parents with me because it takes all the stress off me to take care of all the other things, and I just have to focus on chess.

@sachin_rt @imVkohli Who is your favourite sportsperson?. I don't have a favourite sportsperson, but in this tournament, I was inspired by Milkha Singh because I was listening to the songs from his movie and also Mary Kom. @MangteC songs.

@sachin_rt @imVkohli Also, in the last few years, it has been booming in India, so I hope it continues the same way. Chess players don't get as much attention as cricketers. I don't think it's even comparable.

Do you think chess is the biggest happening sport in India after cricket? Do you feel bad that chess players do not get as much attention as cricketers?. @sachin_rt @imVkohli.

How do you relax/unwind?. I usually relax by listening to songs, getting some sleep, eating, watching something, just resting. Chess is quite exhausting, so I take all the rest that I can. I don't have any specific plans right now. I am a bit sleep-deprived. I need sleep.
