Smriti Mandhana’s Wildest Manifestation Started With A Blank Cheque At 13 And Ended With Her Parents’ Dream Home At 18
At 13, Smriti Mandhana wrote a blank cheque to visualise buying her parents a home. In a Raj Shamani interview, she reveals how that dream became reality at 18.
At 13, Smriti Mandhana had already decided what she wanted to buy with the money she hadn’t yet earned. It wasn’t a car. It wasn’t jewellery. It wasn’t some teenage fantasy of fame and fortune. It was a house for her parents.
In a recent conversation with podcaster Raj Shamani, the Indian cricketer opened up about a childhood manifestation ritual that began when she was still years away from becoming one of the country’s biggest sporting stars. Her family was living in a rented home, and Mandhana says buying a house for her parents became her “only aim."
