Throwback: When Shubman Gill cheekily said that he was 'Maybe' dating a 'Sara'

Shubman Gill, the Indian cricket champ, recently confirmed that he is NOT dating anyone nor is he interested in dating. The IPL team captain has set the record straight that he is been single for three years, and all the celebrities he was sensationally linked with have nothing to do with him. However, Gill sneakily said that he was maybe dating a 'Sara.'

When Shubman almost confirmed that he was dating a 'Sara'

During an episode of the popular Punjabi talk show 'Dil Diyan Gallan' with Sonam Bajwa, the conversation between the actress and the cricketer sparked speculations on social media. You can blame Shubman for the same, as he added a little fuel to the fire when Sonam Bajwa asked whether he was in a relationship with a ‘Sara,’ and the mastermind cheekily said, “Maybe…” Furthermore, Bajwa didn’t hesitate to ask him to tell her the truth by wordplay. “Sara ka sara sach bolo" (Tell the whole truth), she said. Shubman responded, “Sara da sara sach bol diya" (I’ve told the truth).

Shubman Gill is single...

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Gill swiftly brushed off the rumours by stating that he laughs at the idea of dating anyone. The cricket denied the speculations of him dating Sara Tendulkar, Sara Ali Khan and even Avneet Kaur by expressing that their schedules are air-tight packed to even think about having a relationship.

“There have been so many rumours and speculations linking me with different people. And sometimes, it would be so ridiculous that I’ve never seen or met that person ever in my life,” Gill said.

“Right now, I’m so focused on what I need to do in my professional career. There’s no space in my life to be able to be with someone. Three hundred days, we’re on the road, travelling somewhere. So, there’s hardly any time to invest in a relationship with someone,” the 25-year-old added, marking the end of eyebrow-raising rumours.

When Sara Ali Khan denied the rumours

Not just Shubman, but Sara Ali Khan had denied the rumours before. In an interview with Koffee with Karan, when he asked about the alleged romance with the cricketer, Sara denied by stating, “You’ve got the wrong Sara, guys! Sara ka sara duniya galat Sara ke peechhe pada hai" (The whole world is after the wrong Sara), when the audience was chanting ‘Sara! Sara!’ during Shubman’s batting.

The speculations of Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar began when they were spotted together during the events, in addition to the pictures they snapped, which were allegedly at the same place at the same time, according to the fans. Netizens were convinced of them dating, but well, Shubman Gill says otherwise.
