A recent picture of Asha Bhosle’s granddaughter, Zanai Bhosle, enjoying her 23rd birthday with cricketer Mohammed Siraj quickly went viral, sparking rumours about the two being romantically involved. In the photo, the pair are seen laughing together, leading many to believe there might be something more than friendship between them. 


Zanai Bhosle and Mohammed Siraj put dating rumours to rest


However, both Zanai and Siraj took to social media to put these rumours to rest. The duo reshared the photo on their respective Instagram stories, firmly stating that they are not in a relationship. 


Zanai captioned her story, calling Siraj "Mere Pyaare Bhai" (My sweet brother), while Siraj echoed the sentiment, writing, “Meri behen ke jaisi koi behna nahin. Bina iske kahin bhi mujhe rehna nahin. Jaise hai chaand sitaaron mein, meri behna hai ek hazaaro mein” (No one is like my sister. I can't live without her. Just like the moon among the stars, my sister is one of a kind). 






Zanai Bhosle's birthday photos started the rumour


The rumours began after Zanai shared photos from her birthday celebration, which took place at a Mumbai restaurant. While the party included several other celebrities and cricketers, it was her photo with Siraj that caught the internet’s attention.





Fans were quick to comment on the chemistry between the two, with one asking, “Are you going to marry Siraj bhaijaan Zanai Bhosle?” and another joking, “Yahi hai kya bhabhi ji?” (Is this your sister-in-law?). Many others even dropped heart-eye emojis under the post.
 


In addition to Siraj, Zanai also posted pictures with her grandmother, Asha Bhosle, Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff, cricketer Shreyas Iyer, and others.


Professionally, Zanai is following in her grandmother’s footsteps as a singer, recently releasing a song titled Kehndi Hai.
