WATCH: Jadeja's Wife Loses Cool When Asked About Father In law's Allegations Towards Her

Ravindra Jadeja made headlines last week not for his cricketing prowess, but for addressing a controversial statement made by his father during an interview. Alleging that the interview was orchestrated, Jadeja's wife, Rivaba, stepped forward to respond to accusations regarding their family dynamics.

In the interview, Jadeja's father, Anirudhsinh, claimed that Rivaba was the cause of tension within the family, suggesting that Ravindra had distanced himself from his father and sister after tying the knot. Anirudhsinh also revealed his modest living situation, residing alone in a 2BHK apartment and managing expenses solely from his late wife's pension.

Additionally, Anirudhsinh implied that Rivaba had gained control over Ravindra's assets and properties over time. (Big Blow To England Ahead Of 3rd Test Vs India As Jack Leach Ruled Out Of Series Due To Injury IND Vs ENG)

At a public event, Rivaba, who is a BJP MLA, expressed her dismay when questioned about her father-in-law's statements. She urged reporters to approach her directly for clarification rather than discussing personal matters in a public forum.

“Why are we here today? You can contact me directly if you want to know about it,” said Rivaba in a video that went viral. (Memes Pour In After India Lose Third Straight ICC Final To Australia After Loss In U19 World Cup Final; Check Reactions)
