You have heard many things about India captain Rohit Sharma‘s personal life. But do you know his wife Ritika Sajdeh is related to former India all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh?
Ritika and Yuvraj knew each other even before her marriage to Rohit. She used to run a sports management company and Yuvraj was her client. After working for a long time, slowly a bond started growing between them and Yuvraj started calling her his “Rakhi” sister.
In an old episode of Breakfast with Champions on YouTube, Rohit revealed an incident where Yuvraj threatened the Indian captain to stay away from Ritika because she is his sister. Rohit met Ritika during a shoot in 2008 and Yuvraj was also present. Rohit was baffled by Yuvraj’s request and told him that he had come to the shoot only for work purposes and had nothing to do with the girl. Rohit Sharma said in a YouTube conversation with Gaurav Kapoor:
When I was doing a shoot, Yuvraj Singh and Irfan Pathan were also there with me. As soon as I reached, I went to meet Yuvi as he was a senior player and Ritika was also there. Ritika was managing the shoot. When I said hi to Yuvi Paaji, he gestured toward Ritika and said she is my sister, and don’t even look at her.

But is Ritika Sajdeh the real sister of Yuvraj Singh?
During the Rakhi (an Indian festival) celebration, pictures of Ritika tying the Rakhi on Yuvraj’s wrists went viral and fans started thinking she was the 41-year-old’s real sister. But no, Ritika Sajdeh is not the biological sister of Yuvraj Singh. He calls her his youngest sister only due to respect.
Though Rohit obeyed Yuvraj and did not meet Ritika at first, due to some technical glitches they got the chance to talk on the same day. Rohit did not like Ritika because of Yuvraj.
After becoming friends, Ritika started working as a manager for Rohit and soon they started dating each other. They dated for six years and the Indian cricketer proposed to her at Mumbai’s Borivali Sports Club, before getting married in December 2015. The duo welcomed daughter Samaira Sharma on December 30, 2018.
