Apart from this post, a video of Ritika Sajdeh has gone viral on the internet. The clip, which was shared on X with the caption, "Junior hitman," is from an award ceremony held on August 21, 2024.

On April 6, 2024, cricketers, Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer appeared on the Netflix series, The Great Indian Kapil Show. The Indian skipper's wife, Ritika, was also present in the show. The show's host, Kapil, who is known for his witty remarks and comic timing, asked the cricketer’s wife if it has been difficult to handle Rohit as the captain or as a husband. Ritika instantly replied that Rohit was harder to manage as a husband.
In the same interaction, Kapil asked Rohit what he does when the rival team's players ask him not to hit sixes to impress their girlfriends. The Indian cricketer discussed that his wife is more important as she sits with her fingers crossed at all his matches. Elaborating more about it, Rohit said:
"Yes, of course, we have had conversations like this. But I tell them, ‘While it’s your girlfriend present at the stadium, I have my wife watching the match.’ She sits with her fingers crossed during the whole match. So, she is more important to me."
Rohit Sharma and Ritika Sajdeh first met when the latter was managing Rohit's sports events. But their professional bond grew into something more beautiful and meaningful, and the duo decided to tie the knot. Rohit and Ritika got married in 2015 and became parents for the first time in 2018, when they welcomed their baby girl, Samaira.
