“Pyaar, ishq, everything” - Bollywood actress describes Shubman Gill in one-word challenge
Team India's top-order batter Shubman Gill enjoys a big fan following in the country. Not just cricket fans, but a few Bollywood personalities have also expressed their admiration for the talented cricketer.
Television actress Ridhima Pandit, who recently made her Bollywood debut with Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, also seems an ardent Gill fan. During an interview, she was asked to describe the batter in one word.
Pandit initially laughed at the question, considering the rumours of her being in a romantic relationship with Gill. After being asked to at least give a hashtag for the Gujarat Titans (GT) skipper, she replied:
"Pyaar, ishq, everything."
Meanwhile, Shubman Gill is currently in Australia for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. He missed the first Test in Perth due to a finger injury. The 25-year-old has struggled for form in the five-match series, amassing 60 runs across three innings.
The series is tied at 1-1 after the first three Tests. Gill will now be seen in action in the upcoming Boxing Day Test between India and Australia, beginning December 26 in Melbourne.
"I think he is very, very cute, but unfortunately, there's nothing that is happening" - When Ridhima Pandit reacted to Shubman Gill dating rumors
Earlier this year, there were rumours of Shubman Gill and Ridhima Pandit tying the knot very soon. Giving a clarification on the conjecture, the actress revealed that she doesn't even know Gill personally.
She mentioned that while she finds the batter cute, there was no truth to their dating rumours. Here's what Pandit said during an interview with Filmygyaan (via Hindustan Times):
"No (about dating Shubman)! Firstly, I don't even know him. I think he's an amazing sports person, but main unhe jaanti nahi (I don't know him). Jab main kabhi unhe milungi, I am pretty sure hum log hasenge iss baare mei (If I ever meet him, we will laugh about this). I think he is very, very cute, but unfortunately, there's nothing that is happening."
It is worth mentioning that Shubman Gill was also rumoured to be previously dating Bollywood actress Sara Ali Khan and batting legend Sachin Tendulkar's daughter Sara Tendulkar. While Khan denied the link-up, there hasn't been an official statement from Tendulkar or Gill's end.
