    Rohit Sharma might be known for his cool leadership and superior batting skills, but it must also be noted that the cricketer is a true-blue romantic. Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh have established, time and again, that they are one of the most adorable celebrity couples around. Whether it was how their love story began (she was his manager before she became his life partner) or the fact that the two are never shy in expressing their love and support for each other over the years.

    Recently, Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh appeared on Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra’s podcast, Who’s the Boss. In between giving the listeners a glimpse at their lives, the cricketer revealed how he proposed to his then-girlfriend Ritika Sajdeh, on the grounds where his cricket journey began. By then, the couple had been dating for six years.

    “She had brought me food from home. After eating it together, I asked her to come with me to get ice cream. We left and kept going until we had crossed Marine Drive se, Haji Ali, Bandra and Dadar and a bunch of other places. She kept asking me where this ice cream place is, and I assured her it’s a great place close to where I live.”

    The cricketer had taken Ritika to the Borivali Sports Club, the ground where he had played cricket when he had begun his journey. Ritika had no idea where they were. “When we reached the ground, it was dark. I had already told my friend to set up something on the ground and be there to capture the moment. Then I went on my knees in the middle of the pitch and then I proposed to her." The rest, as they say, is history.


    The couple tied the knot in 2015 in a star-studded ceremony in Mumbai’s Taj Lands End hotel. They are now proud parents to two children-Samaira and Ahaan.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
