Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma has opened up about how he first met his wife, Ritika Sajdeh, recalling how an unexpected meeting during an advertisement shoot in 2008 eventually developed into a relationship and marriage.
Speaking on his gaming reality show, Family Full House with Rohit Sharma, the cricketer said their first meeting was not planned. Ritika was present at the shoot as the manager of another player, while Rohit had arrived for the assignment but was left waiting after his own manager failed to turn up on time.
Recalling the incident, Rohit said, “Main pehli baar unko mila tha 2008 mein. Hum ek ad shoot kar rahe the. Ritika ke saath nahi, par woh wahan par thi. Woh kisi player ki manager thi aur main wahan pahuncha tha, lekin mere manager sahab sahi samay par nahi pahunch paaye. Main bahut gussa ho gaya tha aur apne room mein akela baitha tha. Tabhi Ritika ji pehli baar mujhse milne aayi.”
He said Ritika approached him and offered assistance, marking the beginning of their first conversation. The two remained good friends for seven years before getting married in 2015.
“Unhone mujhe bola, ‘Agar aapko kuch help chahiye toh main help karne ke liye taiyaar hoon’. Toh yeh humari pehli mulaqat thi, pehli baatcheet thi. Uske baad hum 7 saal tak achhe dost rahe, phir 2015 mein humari shaadi hui. Aur abhi 2-2 bachche hain,” he added.
Family Full House with Rohit Sharma is available on Sony Entertainment Television and is also streaming on Sony LIV.
