Tendulkar, whose achievements with the bat have won him fans worldwide, says the adulation never ceases to surprise him.
"I used to receive letters written in blood...But not any more. It feels strange when a fan comes and touches your feet and says you are God. I don't feel comfortable with it, but it is the way they feel about you. That happened again just a couple of weeks ago actually," he says.
In a light-hearted interview published in celebrity magazine 'OK!', Tendulkar spoke about his love for Ferrari cars, his post-retirement plans and how he handles criticism.
Tendulkar said retirement thoughts were far away from his mind at the moment but he may start a business when he stops playing competitive cricket.
"That's a big question. I don't know. I will definitely be involved with the game. When I retire, that is when the doors to other opportunities will open. As of now, other than just promoting various products, I haven't opened the door to anything else. Maybe I'll start a business," he said.

Sachin is one of the best cricketer India has produced. Kapil, Gavaskar and Sachin are the best from India to the world. what make sachin better than the rest is his humility. It's not easy to be grounded after seen so much of highs. Sachin you keep on playing and likes of Yuvraj and Dhoni are temporary but you are forever.
You are a good cricketer. However, having limited time, I do watch you play a lot. I prefer the Dhoni or the Yuvraj type (it has to do with my availability of time). However, I appreciate you for having the humility to say that you do not feel good being caled god. How arrogant it will be for someone to think he or she is god just because God made them with such health and talents. Let the fools wo go around claiming to be gods learn from you.
If Cricket is religion,Sachin is definately the GOD of that !
He loves cars (even he can afford to pay duty - he chooses political help not to pay) What a country and its fans, cant even understand nature / mind of person.... Now he is a RAJU ban gaya gentlemen... There is such a RAJU in hyderabad also... People of India should awake, not get carried away by personalities. Jai Hind
Dear Sachin,I love to watch you play, however I get very disappointed when you are given a dodgy decision by the empires. I feel that half the time you are not out, otherwise you will have many more runs than what you have now. But what you have is good enough for me and rest of India. Please keep playing. Legends like you are only born only once in many centuries.CheersBrahm
