Recalling the episode Priyanka explains that when she was on the way to London on a British Airways flight. Her brother Siddharth was with her, he comes to see her off every time she leaves Mumbai. At the airport he nearly swooned when he spotted the entire Indian cricket team. He went ballistic. ?Didi, get them to sign my T-shirt and I'll be your slave for life.?



Soon after that she was embarrassed and horrified. As How could I just go ahead and ask them to sign my brother's T-shirt? But Siddharth insisted. Then she wondered which T-shirt he wanted the team to sign since he obviously hadn't brought an extra T-shirt to the airport. To my horror, Siddharth took off the one he was wearing and gave it to her for signature.

On flight, Priyanka hesitantly sent over a message to the team with her 17-year-old brother's request.

She would have loved to meet them personally and make the request on her brother's behalf. But it was a night flight and she was in the executive class while they were in business. So she just sent over the request. They happily and graciously agreed. And she came out of the flight with every member of the team's signature on my brother's T-shirt."

Priyanka's demeanor lights up. "Now my brother guards the T-shirt as though his life depends on it. Of course he didn't remember his promise to be my slave for a year.
