Kapil Dev and Mother Teresa first meeting

Kapil Dev met the famous Mother Teresa in Kolkata after achieving success and fame following India’s 1983 World Cup. Despite all the happiness, Kapil Dev was without a child after 14 years of his marriage to wife Romi Bhatia (now: Romi Dev). However, in the aftermath of the meeting with Mother Teresa, the pair was blessed with a lovely daughter - Amiya.

While the entire nation knew with the news being covered in media and news outlets, the family didn’t know the reason for such misfortune. During the couple’s visit to Kolkata, Mother Teresa blessed them and said ‘God is kind.’

After that many months later, Mother Teresa inquired about Kapil’s family and it was known that his wife Romi was already five-months pregnant. Following that, Kapil Dev wrote a heartfelt testimonial. Read it below by clicking the link.
