The love story of Indian cricket team captain Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh is one that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. From a professional acquaintance to a deeply committed partnership, their journey is as inspiring as it is romantic. Recently, details of Rohit's proposal to Ritika have resurfaced, shedding light on the special moment when he decided to take their relationship to the next level.
The couple first met in 2008 during an ad shoot, where Ritika was working as a sports event manager. Also present was Yuvraj Singh, who jokingly warned Rohit to stay away from Ritika as she was his 'Rakhi' sister. Initially, this created a poor impression in Rohit's mind, but he soon realized how sweet she was.
As they began working together, their professional relationship evolved into a friendship, and eventually, they began dating discreetly. After dating for about six years, Rohit knew Ritika was the one he wanted to spend his life with.
According to reports, the proposal happened on April 29, during the IPL season. Rohit told Ritika he wanted to take her out for ice cream, which surprised her since it was midnight. He then took her for a late-night drive to Borivali Sports Club in Mumbai, a place of great significance to him, as it was where he took his first steps in cricket at the age of 11.
In a video that has gone viral, Rohit recalls the special moment, stating that Ritika was completely taken aback, wondering why he was taking her so far at night. When they arrived at the club, Rohit played Ritika's favorite song in the car and proposed to her on his knees, presenting her with a stunning solitaire ring. He wanted to make it a moment she would never forget, doing it with all his heart.
Ritika, stunned by the gesture, accepted the proposal. Rohit later shared a picture of them on social media, captioning it: "From best friends to soulmates, couldn't get any better." The couple officially got engaged on June 3, 2015, at the Borivali Sports Complex in Mumbai, surrounded by close friends and family. Their wedding took place on December 13, 2015, at the Taj Lands Hotel in Mumbai, a star-studded affair attended by celebrities from cricket, Bollywood, and the business world.
Their love story has continued to blossom, with the birth of their daughter, Samaira, in 2018, and their son, Ahaan, in 2024. Rohit and Ritika often share their affection on social media, demonstrating how their bond has grown stronger with time. Their relationship is a testament to love, perseverance, and family, inspiring millions worldwide.
