Trisha, who celebrated her birthday recently, is on cloud nine. The reason is that she received a cricket bat, which was personally signed by master blaster Sachin Tendulkar. "I will preserve this memorable gift," she says.

Giving details as to how she got the bat, the actress says, "I have insurance with Aviva, for which Sachin Tendulkar is the brand ambassador. The company decided to gift bats signed by Sachin to a few clients and I am one among them."

"I am a huge fan of Sachin. So getting a bat that has his signature is not an ordinary thing for me. This is a precious gift and I will preserve it like a treasure," Trisha adds with a broad smile.

Trisha, who was seen in 'Mankatha' last year, will be seen in a slew of Tamil films this year. She has 'Samar' with Vishal, 'Endrendrum Punnagai' with Jiiva and 'Boologam' with 'Jayam' Ravi.
