Sports stars have to deal with being asked the same questions again and again. Mostly, they take it in their stride, but certain questions become pet peeves. Recently, Delhi Daredevils and India allrounder Irfan Pathan was asked which were the questions he wished journalists didn’t ask him. He replied, “‘When are you getting married?’ First, I [would] say, ‘When I get married, I’ll tell you.’ Then I’ve said, ‘I will get married to my cricket.’ Then I say, ‘I’ll get married after my brother.’ Sometimes, I just laugh. Obviously, when I get married, the whole world is going to know.”
