Kreishh Gurbaxani: It is said that most cue sports professionals are shy and introverts. Is this true in your case?
Aditya Mehta: You can't generalise but it does happen more often than not because right from your childhood, you're isolated in the snooker room, on your own for six to eight hours a day. No sunlight, no friends, nothing, so you get used to it. As far as your personality goes, you could be introverted or extroverted but yes, it does take a little bit of a hit on your social life because you give up a lot. I stopped going to college and started my correspondence after school as I needed time to play snooker. All young snooker players experience this. To some extent, they don't get to socialise like the rest of their friends do, but eventually you get accustomed to it. I think it's a good thing because you learn how to survive on your own. I did that in the UK and that was my biggest learning. I learnt to survive in the world on my own. So, it's not the worst thing.
