Hardik Pandya, the talented all-rounder of the Indian cricket team, along with his brother Krunal Pandya, faced tough times before making it to the big leagues. Despite their immense love for Maggi, circumstances forced them to rely on it as their only option for survival.

During their teenage years, the Pandya brothers found themselves in challenging financial situations. With limited resources, they had to make do with what was available, and that meant relying on Maggi for sustenance both in the morning and evening as a diet.

Despite the hardships, they never let their spirits down and spent most of their time on the cricket ground, trying to hone their skills. Both brothers worked hard to make their mark in the Indian Premier League and finally achieved success. Hardik shared how he used to eat a lot of Maggi during his childhood, and it became a significant part of their lives, considering their circumstances.

As a star player, Hardik reminisces about his early struggles and how Maggi played a crucial role in their journey. 


Hardik shares his struggle Story

 "My father was the only earning person at home. He suffered a heart attack — not one but two and that too within one night. He almost got another attack six months later, but we were glad we reached the hospital in time. The financial problems started at that time ... we had no savings and perhaps we spent more than what we earned."

"Din bhar ground pe pade rehte tha. Bahar udhari bahut ho gayi thi, jeetna aata woh turant chala jata. 10 rupees chodho, 5 rupees ke bhi vande tha," He said in an interview.

Krunal, in another interview, humorously suggested that Maggi should make Hardik their brand ambassador.

"Maggi should consider making Hardik their brand ambassador. The amount of Maggi he has eaten no one else in India would have eaten as much."

In a heartwarming gesture, Maggi sent him an entire box of their product as a token of appreciation.

"By the way Maggi folks heard about this and they sent me an entire box of Maggi. I really liked eating noodles (Maggi). Used to eat a lot of it when I was a kid. Back then if I had the option of eating good food obviously I would choose eating good food. But you need to have money to afford good food."

From relying on two-minute noodles for survival to becoming cricket stars, Hardik and Krunal Pandya's journey is truly inspiring and resonates with millions who find hope in their story of triumph against all odds.
