Love, cricket & a balcony proposal: A sneak peek into Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan's fairytale
In a world where glamour and cricket incessantly converge, Indian fast bowler
Jasprit Bumrah
and sports reporter and Indian journalist Sanjana Ganesan's story shines brighter than a diamond. Their style and personal stories are quintessential of mutual admiration, subtle romance, and coincidence.
It was in the 2013-14 season of IPL that Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan first met, when Jasprit was ascending his stairs to success. Sanjana is a popular media face who, as per routine, was interviewing players of the team and had a small conversation with Bumrah. This was the same time when the two didn't interact much, nor were there any visible signs of a spark between them. But as is the case, true love waits. Destiny, since then, has had different plans for them.

A few years later, when there was the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup in England, they met again, but this time the magic was not lost. Interestingly, in an interview, Sanjana shared that at first, she had thought Bumrah was already dating someone, so that kept her from making any overtures toward him.
A perfect proposal? YES, PLEASE
In the IPL 2020 held in the UAE, out of everybody's sight, Bumrah proposed in a humble yet true way. His now-famous lines, "Balcony me chalo" (come to the balcony), led to a moment that went on to change the direction of their lives forever.

No drama, no grand gestures; still, Sanjana said, Yes to Bumrah.
This lovely couple got married on 15 March 2021 in a private, intimate wedding in Goa, as they merged sikh and South Indian customs together, each respecting the other's heritage. The wedding itself was small, with only near and dear ones who attended the wedding, while the media was kept at bay. Not long after their marriage, their joy tripled with the arrival of their son, Angad Bumrah, on September 4, 2023.

What makes this pair stand out is their down-to-earth attitude and respect for each other. As Bumrah takes over the cricket ground, Sanjana also keeps on sparkling in her own way, as a renowned sports presenter. Their romance is simply flawless, one that's away from the glitz and from the limelight

Abdu Rozik lashes out at his former management team for spreading ‘false' news about his arrest at Dubai Airport; says 'Ridiculous and Unfair'
Bigg Boss 16 fame Abdu Rozik was recently in the news when reports of him getting arrested at Dubai International Airport on charges of theft went viral. He had flown to Dubai to attend an award ceremony on Saturday. However, the Tajikistani singer had dismissed the reports and has slammed his previous management team for maligning his image and spreading lies about him. Speaking out for the first time about the accusations, Abdu shared with Bollywood Bubble that he's doing well and continuing his work as usual. He clarified that the entire controversy was created by his former management team, who allegedly made baseless allegations against him. According to Abdu, they falsely accused him of stealing his own possessions — a Gucci bag gifted to him on his birthday, a mobile phone he personally bought, and a Rolex watch gifted by a friend. Abdu, who was last seen in Laughter Chefs season 2, further said, "It's ridiculous and unfair that my ex-manager is calling these items 'stolen.' I want to say thank you to everyone who is standing by the truth. This is just another challenge for me, and it's making me stronger and more motivated." Previously, Abdu's team released an official statement to the Khaleej Times, where they stated, "First of all, he was not arrested—he was only detained by the police. Abdu Rozik provided an explanation and was released. He will be attending the award ceremony in Dubai today. Secondly, information in the media is not correct. We will take all legal action to protect Abdu Rozik and his image. Also, we will provide you with all the information later on to inform the Indian people. Believe us, we have a lot to say regarding this issue." On the work front, Abhu made his debut on Indian television with Bigg Boss 16 and became an overnight sensation. He was also seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi and Laughter Chefs season 2. Abdu Rozik Delays Wedding: His Reason Will Shock You!
