Bhandari's life-story is no bed of roses. He started his career as a stunt man after completing a course in the Vijaya Film Institute.
It was around this time that Bhandari, to support his family, started repairing bats of local cricket players.
Bhandari is not only popular with Tendulkar, but is a celebrity among other cricketers like Chris Gayle, Ricky Ponting, Tilakaratne Dilshan, Luke Wright, Ross Taylor and Kieran Pollard.
