Rahul Dravid Obliges Fan With Autograph On IndiGo Flight
The siblings were travelling on an IndiGo flight when they noticed Dravid on board. Excited by the unexpected sighting, one of them approached the former cricketer to request an autograph, while another recorded the interaction.
Dravid reportedly obliged the fan, signing an autograph and exchanging a few polite words. His warm response made the encounter even more special for the siblings, who later crossed paths with him again.
After landing, the group spotted the cricket icon on the airport bus, giving them another opportunity to capture the moment. The unexpected double sighting made their journey particularly memorable.

Why Rahul Dravid Is Called ‘Indiranagar Ka Goonda’
The caption references one of the internet’s most recognisable memes featuring Dravid. The phrase originated from a popular advertisement in which the usually composed cricketer showcases an unusually aggressive side of his personality.
Rahul Dravid said, “my mother is still not really convinced about that Indiranagar Ka Gunda Ad. I think she still believes that I shouldn’t have been smashing the glass. It’s probably one of the most embarrassing things I have done (smiles)”. https://t.co/gJn78zNm4C
