“You have a huge fan following in India, especially among women,” said the sahiba. “There is a huge, huge sect of women who are absolutely in love with you; including me, including my best friend. She texted me saying, ‘Oh, you’re meeting Pat Cummins. I’m so jealous of you.’ Obviously, everyone knows you’re married, but how do you satisfy a woman’s attention?”

Pat Cummins’ reaction to female attention
As the conversation progressed, celebrity actress Laila Majnu continued, asking if Cummins acknowledges or chooses to ignore the love and admiration he receives from fans, especially women.
“Not really,” Cummins replied thoughtfully. “I mean, it’s funny. In India you obviously see the fans and the audience and those things…”
Sahiba interjected, “And they’re crazy.”
“And they are crazy,” Cummins agreed, adding, “But, I think, most of the time we spend as a team, in a hotel or with family. So sometimes you don’t have a lot of one-on-one interaction.”
