20 Jun 2024:  Sriram after I shaved my beard: “why did you do that? With beard you look older and trustworthy!! Now you look like a teenager who overcooks noodles!!” 😂😂

29 May 2024: Sriram wants to play for Indian cricket team. Told him he needs to live in india for ever if he wants to do that. He says he is ok to do that.
