Sofia Hayat's controversial remarks about Rohit Sharma; here is what the Indian star said.

British-Indian model and actress Sofia Hayat has made controversial remarks regarding former Indian captain and star batsman Rohit Sharma. Her comments about Rohit—who has retired from T20 and Test cricket—have sparked discussion on social media.

Recently, while reminiscing on the ‘Straight Talk with Wisdom’ podcast, Sofia spoke about her past involvement with cricket. She revealed that she had little knowledge of the sport at the time and began attending cricket-related events on her manager's advice. She also admitted to lying about her age to gain popularity.

Claims of a relationship with Rohit

Mentioning Rohit Sharma on the podcast, Sofia claimed that they once shared a relationship. She then made a highly personal and objectionable comment regarding her private life with him.

However, there has been no public comment or confirmation from Rohit Sharma regarding Sofia's claims.

This is not the first time Sofia has claimed to have had a relationship with Rohit. She had previously stated that they became close in 2012 and that the relationship continued until the following year.

According to Sofia, a public remark made by Rohit was one of the reasons the relationship ended. She claimed that instead of introducing her as his girlfriend to the media, Rohit referred to her merely as a fan. Feeling insulted, she blocked him on various social media platforms and ended the relationship.

Rohit's personal life

Rohit Sharma married his long-time girlfriend and sports manager, Ritika Sajdeh, in 2015. Their first child, a daughter named Samaira, was born in 2018. In 2024, their family welcomed a second child, a son.

Rohit's illustrious international career

Rohit Sharma boasts an impressive international career for India. He has played 288 ODIs, 159 T20Is, and 67 Test matches. In total, the batsman has scored over 20,000 international runs, including 51 centuries and 112 half-centuries.

Rohit has also achieved success as a captain. Under his leadership, India won the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy.
