Getting values from other column telerik Grid

Question

In asp.net mvc5 i have this telerik grid

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<KerberosTest.Models.Bench>()
        .Name("grid")

    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(p => p.name).Title("Bench").Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell(cell => cell.Operator("contains"))).Width(150);
        //columns.Bound(p => p.seatsCount).Title("Total Seats");
        //columns.Bound(p => p.bookedSeats).Title("Booked Seats");

        columns.Bound(p => p.seatsCount).Title("Total Seats").Width(150).Filterable(ftb => ftb.Cell(cell => cell.Operator("contains")));
        columns.Command(command => command.Custom("checkBench").Text("Check in").Click("ShowTimePopup")).Width(160).Title("Check in");


    })

i want to know if when i press the button and call ShowTimePopup, i can read the first column value (the one with p => p.name) of the same row as the button i clicked

It's pretty ease to get the current row's data if you use grid.dataItem($(this).closest("tr"));

<script type="text/javascript">
    function ShowTimePopup()
    {
        var grid = $("#grid").data("kendoGrid");
        var rowData = grid.dataItem($(this).closest("tr"));
        alert(rowData.name);
    }
</script>
