Sachin Tendulkar-Top Role Model For Health & Happiness Master blaster Sachin Tendulkar has been voted by people of India as their number one role model of health and happiness in a nation-wide survey conducted by a health magazine.
Sachin was stumped when he was told that he was India's hero even off the pitch.
India's hero even off the pitch
Sachin reacted in an interview in the December, 2008 issue of health magazine, 'Complete well-being' :
"Goodness me! Is it true? My countrymen think that I am the healthiest and happiest person in the country? What a compliment, I am truly overwhelmed. I will cherish this compliment forever".
Interestingly, the survey, which was conducted by global research firm Synovate for the Complete Wellbeing magazine, was before Sachin became the highest test run scorer and before his 40th test century, said Manoj Katri, the editor and publisher of the magazine.

Tennis player Sania Mirza is the only woman to be voted among the top 10 role models of health and happiness when majority of the top role models that India has chosen are from Cricket, Katri said.
The results of the survey are fascinating with Indian icons A P J Abdul Kalam and Amitabh Bachchan emerging among the top three role models across categories, along side Sachin.
Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Sonia Gandhi, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Anil Ambani also emerged as the top celebrities who inspire health and happiness in their respective domains, the survey said.
India voted Railway Minister Lalu Prasad as the happiest among all politicians while Congress president Sonia Gandhi as number one role model of health.
Sachin Ki Jai Ho!!!
