During a rapid fire interview, he was asked to share a childhood memory he still cherishes. The star Indian raider narrated an incident where he left his house without informing his parents just to participate in a kabaddi tournament.

"Once I went to play a kabaddi tournament far from my house," recalled Ajay Thakur. "My parents did not know where I was. My mother fell ill."

Ajay Thakur revealed that he performed well in that competition and won a few trophies. His parents were happy to see him succeed but they beat him first before looking at his trophies.

"When I came back after a few days, my parents beat me, but when I showed them my trophies, they were delighted," said Ajay Thakur.
