Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge are some of the few celebrity lovebirds who have restored our faith in true love. The couple got married back on November 23, 2017, and after eight years, they welcomed their first child, a baby boy, into their lives. Zaheer and Sagarika announced their son's name on April 16, 2025, and it is 'Fatehsinh Khan'. The newbie parents receive love and best wishes from the cricketing world and the film industry.

Amidst all the buzz around the couple embracing parenthood for the first time in their lives, there's a large section on the internet that would love to know about Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge's love story that is straight out of a movie. Before we talk about their love saga, let's take a brief look at their respective professional fronts so far. While Zaheer is one of the greatest bowlers in the history of Indian cricket, Sagarika is also a renowned actress who has worked in a series of memorable films.

Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge's love story: Cricketer fell in love with 'Chak De India!' actress after his breakup with Isha Sharvani

Before falling in love with Sagarika Ghatge, former Indian cricketer, Zaheer Khan was in a serious relationship with famous dancer and actress, Isha Sharvani. The ex-couple met each other for the first time in their lives in 2005 and quickly became good friends. As time passed, they fell in love and around the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, reports were rife that Zaheer and Isha were planning to tie the knot. Unfortunately, in 2012, Isha Sharvani confirmed that she and Zaheer had parted ways due to their personal differences.

After parting ways with Isha Sharvani, Zaheer Khan crossed paths with Sagarika Ghatge at a mutual friend's party and gelled up quite quickly together in their first-ever meeting. After some frequent meetings, they fell in love and started dating. The couple kept their relationship low-key, but it was Yuvraj Singh's wedding with Hazel Keech when Zaheer and Sagarika appeared publicly, confirming their dating rumours. It was in 2017 when the lovely couple got engaged, and in the same year, on November 23, Sagarika and Zaheer got married in an intimate wedding setup.

Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge's intercaste marriage and huge age difference

Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge's intercaste marriage didn't create a huge fuss back then. Even when Zaheer and Sagarika told their parents about their wish to take their relationship to the ultimate level, both families accepted their decision. It was smooth sailing for the couple.

However, the difference in religion wasn't the only thing that raised many people's eyebrows, as there was a huge age gap between the couple. While Zaheer is 46, Sagarika is 39, and despite their huge age difference of seven years, they're literally one of the most sought-after celebrity couples out there. 

When Zaheer Khan told his family about Sagarika Ghatge, and they all watched her film, 'Chak De India!' together

One of the most interesting anecdotes from Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge's love story is when the former cricketer told his family about her. As per a report on India TV, Zaheer Khan's family wasn't fully convinced by his decision to marry Sagarika, and he had to convince them.

During that phase, when he was trying to convince his family about Sagarika, Zaheer's family told him to bring the CD of Chak De India!, as they wanted to see her. The cricketer bought the CD of Chak De India! and the whole Khan family watched the film together. By the end of it, Zaheer's family agreed to his decision, and the rest is history. We hope Zaheer and Sagarika continue leading a beautiful marriage for decades.
