The Chahar brothers candid conversation

"I started playing first but when Rahul started playing at that time, it was our dream of playing together for India", said Deepak.

Rahul said that it was Deepak's father's dream of seeing them play for India.  ‘Tu mere lie Ek aur Ek Gyarah ki tarah hai' is what his uncle always tells him. 

The younger Chahar further added that his uncle used to tell him that Deepak is the first one, but if he also plays along with him, then he will feel more proud.
