Tamil Thalaivas raider Manjeet recently labeled Pardeep Narwal as a person who cannot make anyone laugh. The all-rounder said that Pardeep is a very quiet guy who prefers staying in his own space only.
Ahead of Pro Kabaddi 2021, Manjeet appeared on Sportskeeda's Kabaddi Hangout, where he participated in a Rapid Fire round. When asked about the one person who cannot make him laugh, Manjeet replied:
"Pardeep Narwal. He remains in his own space, a very quiet guy."
Manjeet played with Pardeep Narwal for Patna Pirates in his debut PKL season in 2018. After the season, Manjeet moved to Puneri Paltan.
The tall and top raider in Pro Kabaddi was signed by Tamil Thalaivas at the 2021 Auction for a whopping ₹92 lakh. Describing the experience of watching his auction, Manjeet said:
"All our neighbors gathered in our house for the Pro Kabaddi League 2021 auction. Last time I received a contract worth ₹63 lakh, and so when this year's bid crossed that amount, all members in the house were delighted. Afterwards, we distributed sweets in our neighborhood and celebrated together."
