Hitman’s happy place: Rohit Sharma calls hosting his ‘stress buster’

Cricket’s beloved Hitman, Rohit Sharma, traded the pitch for the television screen and won over the studio with his easy charm and candid humour. The latest episode of Family Full House with Rohit Sharma delivered a delightful mix of music, dance, banter and family fun, as Udit Narayan and his family locked horns with choreographer-filmmaker Remo D’Souza and Geeta Kapur.

Amid the high-energy games and playful rivalry, one of the evening’s warmest moments came when Geeta Kapur confessed her admiration for Rohit as a television host. Praising his effortless screen presence, she said, “Ever since you have come to television, aapne sabka dil jeet liya hai and you are very endearing on television and you are a fantastic anchor and har episode dekh chuki hoon.”Rohit, visibly touched by the compliment, responded with refreshing honesty.

Recalling his initial doubts about hosting, he said, “Main aapko chhota sa kissa sunana chahata hoon. Jab mere paas yeh show aaya tha, toh main soch raha tha ki yeh main kaise karunga, kyuki hosting karna bilkul bhi easy nahi, kyuki aapko pura show chalana hota hai.

Lekin jab hum camera ke saamne jaate hain, toh maine realise kiya ki yeh mere liye stress buster jaisa hota hai, kyuki humara performance actual mein cricket mein judge hota hai. Toh main yeh sab bahut enjoy karta hoon aur maine kabhi socha nahi tha mujhe yeh karne ka kabhi mauka milega.

Aur yeh mere liye dusri duniya hai, aur logon ko bhi mazaa aa raha hai and unka support bhi mujhe mil raha hai.”For a cricketer accustomed to being judged by runs, catches and match results, Rohit’s revelation offered a rare glimpse into the more relaxed, spontaneous side of his personality. On the Family Full House set, there were no scoreboard pressures, only laughter, music and the joy of entertaining families.

With Udit Narayan’s family bringing their musical legacy to the fore and Remo and Geeta adding their trademark energy, the episode struck a fine balance between competition and camaraderie. And with Rohit Sharma settling comfortably into his new role, Family Full House continues to position itself as wholesome, feel-good entertainment for the entire family.
