Elli's Reaction to Hardik's KWK Controversy
In 2019, Hardik found himself at the center of a major controversy after making sexist and racist remarks on Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan. At the time, Elli AvrRam reportedly reacted to the incident at an award function, expressing shock and disapproval. She stated that the cricketer's behavior didn't reflect the Hardik she 'personally once used to know.'
The Cryptic Post After Hardik's Engagement
Pandya moved on and got engaged to Natasa Stankovic (now his ex-wife) in 2020.
Around the same time, in January, Elli AvrRam shared a cryptic post on Instagram that caught attention. Her note read, "Be your own Angel this time xx," sparking speculation about its hidden meaning.
The Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon actress later addressed the buzz around her cryptic post, which many believed was aimed at ex-flame Hardik Pandya. However, Elli clarified that the message had 'nothing to do with him' and added that she was genuinely happy for Hardik and Natasa at the time.
Cut to 2025, Elli is now rumoured to be dating popular influencer Ashish Chanchlani. The duo was first spotted together at the Elle List 2025 event in February, sparking speculation. Their latest picture on Instagram has only added fuel to the fire, with fans convinced they've made their relationship official.

A strange rumor involving Cardi B's hygiene that has taken over social media. Cardi B responds to BBL smell rumor after Stefon Diggs Instagram removal In May 2025, Cardi B and Stefon Diggs were first seen together as a couple during a New York Knicks game.

Saina Nehwal divorce: Olympic medallist badminton star announces separation with Parupalli Kashyap; 'life takes us...'
Saina Nehwal, Indian badminton star made an announcement of separation from her husband, Parupalli Kashyap, on Sunday (July 13). She shared the news with an emotional Instagram post which have sent shockwaves through the sporting world. Saina Nehwal and Parupalli Kashyap's relationship began on the badminton courts, where their shared passion for the sport blossomed into love. The couple dated for over a decade. They tied the knot almost seven years ago on December 14, 2018, in a private ceremony. Kashyap's transition from a fellow player to Saina's coach symbolized their deep trust and mutual respect, making their partnership a unique one in the world of sports. The dynamics between Saina and Kashyap were more than just romantic, their professional partnership inspired many. Kashyap's role as Saina's coach was particularly significant after 2016, when injuries began to take a toll on her career. He was often seen courtside, offering advice and emotional support during domestic tournaments and international qualifiers. A standout moment came in 2019 when Saina, under Kashyap's guidance, defeated an in-form PV Sindhu at the National Championships, showcasing her resilience and their effective collaboration. In her Instagram story, Saina wrote, 'Life takes us in different directions sometimes. After much thought and consideration, Kashyap Parupalli and I have decided to part ways. We're choosing peace, growth, and healing - for ourselves and each other. I'm grateful for the memories and wish nothing but the best moving forward. Thank you for understanding and respecting our privacy during this time.' Saina Nehwal's post Saina Nehwal made history as the first Indian badminton player to win an Olympic medal, securing a bronze at the 2012 London Olympics. This achievement placed her alongside weightlifter Karnam Malleshwari as one of only two Indian women to win an Olympic medal at the time. Saina's illustrious career also includes two World Championship medals (one gold and one silver), three Commonwealth Games gold medals (singles in 2010 and 2018, and mixed team in 2010), and two Asian Games bronze medals (2014 and 2018). In 2015, she became the first Indian woman to achieve the world no. 1 ranking in badminton. However, Saina's results were inconsistent in her later years, with her last professional match played in June 2023. While she has not officially announced her retirement, her focus has shifted away from competitive play. Parupalli Kashyap is one of India's finest former badminton players. With a career-high world ranking of 6, Kashyap showcased his prowess by winning the men's singles gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and a bronze in the 2010 Delhi edition. After retiring from competitive play, Kashyap transitioned into coaching.
