Setting the Record Straight

In an interview with Filmygyan, Ridhima addressed the rumors head-on. “No, I am not 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,” she clarified.

The Origin of the Rumors

The marriage speculation began in May when reports surfaced claiming that the Bahu Hamari Rajinikant actor would tie the knot with the cricketer in December 2024. As these rumors gained momentum, Ridhima took to Instagram Stories to set the record straight. “I woke up with a lot of calls from journalists asking about my marriage, but what marriage? I am not getting married and if something important like this is happening in my life I myself would come out and announce the news, there is no truth to this news,” she stated emphatically.

Cryptic Posts and Public Responses

In June, Ridhima shared a cryptic post shortly after denying the wedding rumours. Resharing an Instagram post, she wrote, “After yesterday (Friday) and the whole of this morning (Saturday), I am not sure if it is a wise idea to confirm the same, but yes… I might not look like a private person, but I am.” The original post read, “Private people know how to post on social media regularly and still live a life you don't know anything about.”

Ridhima further elaborated, “My milestones are something that I will always, always share with you all. I would never hide it because why? Rumors are essentially someone's figment of imagination. I don't wish to entertain them. I always want to be in the news for the right reasons, and my audiences know that. So, thank you for all the love always. Ted talk over and out…”

Shubman Gill's Silence

As the rumors continue to circulate, Shubman Gill has yet to publicly respond to the speculation. Previously, Gill was linked to Sara Tendulkar, daughter of cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, adding another layer of intrigue to his personal life.
