Rahul Dravid does not let his sons spend much time in front of the idiot box, here's why

Rahul Dravid is a conscientious father. He does not let his sons Samit and Anvay watch a lot of TV. In any case the boys are sporty. Samit, Dravid’s elder son, has already made headlines with his batting displays for his school. So they mostly watch sports on the tube.

During an interview with ETPanache, Dravid said, "One of the things about having a couple of kids at home is you are conscious of not letting them watch too much TV. So you don't watch that much TV as well. We generally watch sport. My sons like to watch cricket, kabaddi, soccer… They play everything…cricket, football, table tennis, kabaddi. They are at that age where they are playing everything and having a lot of fun in school which is nice. They like the outdoors and are inclined to play sports."

Dravid played at the highest level, but he's happy if his kids play only for the enjoyment of the sport. "I'm aware of the stresses and strains of a pro career," he says. "I really want them to enjoy sport. I'm not sure they will take it up as a profession. But just from a health perspective, the opportunity they get to interact with different people, the opportunity they get being part of a team, I think it's priceless." .
