Former Indian batsman Vinod Kambli is in the headlines these days. Recently he was admitted to a hospital in Thane after health problems. After discharge, he attended the event organized on the 50th anniversary of Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium. During this, his entire family was seen with him.

Kambli and Hewitt were about to get divorced
Vinod Kambli and Andrea Hewitt got married in the year 2006. Both are parents of two children. In a recent podcast, former model Hewitt told that she had decided to divorce Kambli in 2023, she had even filed an application but later withdrew it. Andrea said- I will not leave any friend in trouble, so he (Vinod Kambli) is more than a friend to me. I think how will Vinod live without me... I feel like he is like my child... I cannot leave him... I feel very sad seeing his troubles. Once such a thought came (Kambli's wife had filed for divorce in 2023 but later withdrew it), I left then but every time it remained in my mind that how is he, whether he has eaten properly or not, whether he is able to sleep comfortably on the bed or not... So when I went back, seeing his condition, I understood that he needs me.

The circumstances of the house made the son wise

The name of Vinod Kambli's elder son is Cristiano Kambli. According to his mother, he was wise since childhood. When he was asked about the situation at home in the podcast, Cristiano said- I started understanding the situation at home...so I started taking care of my mother. I always made sure that she did not face any kind of trouble. I especially took care of my mother's mental health, whether she was taking her medicines on time or not. In the podcast of independent journalist Suryavanshi, he further said- Not only this, I also took care of my father. Going to school, then taking care of father's food, medicines. I am telling this about the time when I was about 4 years old.
