Cricketer Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge will tie the knot this year end.
Sagarika who got engaged to Zaheer Khan on April 24 after the 38-year old cricketer popped the question during a vacation in Goa, is now looking forward to a big fat Indian wedding.
“It could be towards the year end or a little earlier. We have shortlisted a few days but are yet to zero in on D-day,” informs the bride-to-be, who has been travelling a lot with her fiancé, from Jamaica to New York and Dubai.
“I have always enjoyed travelling and now it’s even better because the most important person in your life is with you. Zaheer has travelled a lot too, but only to cricket venues. Now he’s exploring the other side of the world not related to cricket.”
The 30-year-old actress’s debut film, Chak De! India completed 10 years on Thursday and she nostalgically says it’s overwhelming to be a part of such a milestone film.
“Every actor hopes to get a film like this by the end of their career but I got it at the very beginning. Everyone, and Shah Rukh (Khan) in particular, took good care of us girls because we were new and naïve and didn’t know the art of filmmaking. SRK knew everyone was overwhelmed by him so he put in an extra effort to make us understand things,” she reminisces.
Point out that in the film too, her character, Preeti Sabarwal, dated a cricketer, Abhimanyu Singh, and she laughs, “Yes people noticed the resemblance.”
