Bollywood and cricket are two things that are discussed in every Indian household. The connection between the two is such that it always excites minds. Whenever Bollywood and cricket come together, it paves way for mega entertainment. So far, Sports Tak has given you detailed information about the love story of many cricketers and Bollywood actors. Along the same lines, we have brought you another love story, and it's as gripping as the previous ones. Today we will tell you about the love story of Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge, a couple who often stays away from the limelight.
How did it start?
Former India fast bowler Zaheer Khan is regarded as one of the finest pacers Indian cricket has ever produced. In his career, the left-arm pacer made many new records and scaled great heights. Zaheer was known for his swing and he troubled several great batters with his ability to outthink the opposition willow-wielders. Zaheer was the highest wicket-taker in the 2011 ODI World Cup. But the bowler, who dismantled many great batters, was stumped by a Bollywood beauty.
Sagarika Ghatge started her Bollywood career with the film Chak De India. Sagarika, who played the role of Preeti Sabharwal, was very much liked by the fans and she immediately rose to fame. However, even after earning so much fame, Sagarika Ghatge's Bollywood career did not take off as expected by many people. After this, she worked in many other movies as well but didn't enjoy the same success.
When did they meet?
Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge met at a Bollywood party through common friends. After some time, both of them started meeting each other continuously and soon started dating. Zaheer had called Sagarika for dinner and after that, both of them grew closer to each other. After some time, Zaheer proposed to Sagarika Ghatge and their friendship blossomed into a relationship. In the end, Sagarika accepted Zaheer's proposal and both of them started appearing in front of the public together. Both were seen together for the first time in the marriage of former India batsman Yuvraj Singh, a longtime teammate of Zaheer.
Zaheer Khan had previously dated another Bollywood actress Isha Sharvani. When Zaheer came into a relationship with Sagarika, both kept it very private for a long time. They didn't talk much about each other relationship in front of the media. Later on, Sagarika announced through an Instagram post that both of them have been engaged.
Sagarika Ghatge belongs to the royal family. Sagarika's father Vijayendra Ghatge was a popular Indian actor in Bollywood film and television. Also, Sagarika's grandmother Sita Raje Ghatge was the daughter of Maharaja Tukojirao Holkar III of Indore. When Sagarika was studying, she started getting offers to work in ad films.
Marriage
In order to familiarise Sagarika with his family members, Zaheer Khan asked them to watch Chak De India movie. After this, Zaheer's family was very impressed with Sagarika. The thing that Sagarika's family liked the most about Zaheer was that the retired Indian cricketer was fluent in Marathi.
Sagarika and Zaheer Khan got engaged in April 2017 and got married in November later that year. They often share mushy posts on social media. At the same time, they also maintain a distance from the media. Apart from being an actor, Sagarika Ghatge has also been a national-level hockey player.
