New Delhi: Rumours about actor Sara Ali Khan and cricketer Shubman Gill being in a relationship have been doing the rounds for a few months now. Amidst these rumours, fans chanted ‘Sara Sara’ during a match against Sri Lanka in the recent ODI series.
In a video shared on Reddit, Shubman can be seen standing on the pitch while fans chant Sara’s name near the boundary rope. Users flooded the post with comments. Some were confused about whether the fans were referring to Sara Ali Khan or Sara Tendulkar. One fan wrote, “This man is fire, Sara should never break up with him,” while another wrote, “Looks like he doesn’t care?”
The rumours of a relationship between the two started in August last year when a TikTok user shared a video in which a woman is seen saying that she just ‘saw Sara at Bastian’, followed by a clip and a still of the actor sitting across the table from the cricketer, placing an order with a waiter next to their table. Sara was seen in a pink outfit, while Shubman wore a white and green shirt.
Then in October, two more videos surfaced online. One video showed Sara exiting a hotel lobby and then the camera panned around and another person, whom netizens guessed as Ꮪhubman Gill, was seen.
The second video, posted on Reddit, showed Sara taking selfies with fans aboard a plane, and then going to her seat, and sitting next to a person who looked like the person from the first video. And Reddit users were sure the person was Shubman Gill.
Shubman had also addressed the speculations on Preeti and Neeti Simoes’ Punjabi chat show, 'Dil Diyan Gallan'. The show’s host Sonam Bajwa had asked the cricketer who is the fittest female actor in Bollywood, to which he answered Sara.
He was then asked if he is dating Sara, to which he replied, “May be.”
Sonam further pressed him to elaborate his answer and said, “sara ka sara sach bolo,” Shubman answered with a blush on his face and said, “sara da sara sach bol diya. May be, maybe not.”
Sara was earlier rumoured to be dating Kartik Aaryan while Shubman was also linked to Sachin Tendulkar’s daughter Sara Tendulkar.
