In a recent interview on Jio Cinema, Bumrah elaborated on the joys of fatherhood. When asked about his greatest feeling since becoming a dad, Bumrah’s response was heartwarmingly simple. “When I look at Angad,” he shared, “that’s the best feeling in the world. Then he smiles at me and that’s all I need, I don’t need any other quiet places.” This quote perfectly encapsulates the transformative power of fatherhood for Bumrah, highlighting the immense joy a child’s smile can bring.
