The rumours of a relationship between Bollywood actress Nimrat Kaur and former Indian cricketer Ravi Shastri created a buzz on social media. Speculations were rife that the two celebs were dating each other for the past two years and they had kept their relationship under wraps. The ‘Airlift’ actress didn’t take kindly to the rumours and squashed them with a single cryptic tweet on Monday, Now the current Indian cricket team head coach Ravi Shastri has reacted to the grapevine.


Shastri, while talking to a leading daily, slammed the rumour and called it as ‘the biggest load of cow dung’.

“Nothing to say when it is the biggest load of cow dung,” the former cricketer told Mid-Day.

Ravi Shastri expressed his displeasure over the dating rumours and when asked about his last encounter with the ‘Lunch Box’ actress, he told the daily, “When I say cow dung, you must understand.”

For the uninitiated, Shastri tied the knot with Ritu Shastri in 1990 with whom he has a daughter named Aleka Shastri. The couple has been living separately for years now.

Nimrat Kaur had rubbished the speculation which was spreading like wildfire on the internet.

‘’Fact: I may need a root canal. Fiction: Everything else I read about me today.  More facts: Fiction can be more hurtful, monday blues exist and I love ice cream. Here’s to trash free happy days ahead,’’ the ‘Homeland’ actress had tweeted.


On the work front, Nimrat is currently busy shooting for the second season of ‘The Test Case’, which beamed on Ekta Kapoor’s Alt Balaji. Ravi Shastri is currently in the UK where team India is playing a test match series against England.
