Tanveer recollected a childhood memory and said "One day when our teacher was teaching us. I furtively fished out a transistor set on the back seat of the classroom and in the middle of class there came a loud sound " Yea Laga BSNL ka chowka connecting India". The irritated teacher rushed directly to me. He opened my bag and found a transistor set in it, which I had carried to listen in the commentary. He promptly snatched the transistor and later return it with a warning".
"I started commentating in local matches since my childhood days only," he said.
A graduate of Botany, Tanveer said he is inspired by famous commentators like prakash Wakankar and Milind Wagle. He joined JKSportstime as a commentator way back in November 2020, whereby lakhs of people hear and appreciate his commentary.
