Anirudhsinh Jadeja, the father of the famous Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, openly discussed the distant and strained bond he shared with his son during a conversation.
Ravindra Jadeja, the renowned Indian cricket star, finds himself in the midst of controversy as his father, Anirudhsinh, reveals strained ties with both his son and daughter-in-law, Rivaba Jadeja.
Jadeja has left an indelible mark on Test cricket, consistently delivering stellar performances that bring balance to the Indian side. His adept spin bowling, capable of extracting turn even from seemingly docile pitches, coupled with his precision in stifling batsmen, positions him as a valuable asset in various playing conditions, be it at home or overseas.
Beyond his skills with the ball, Jadeja’s contributions with the bat have been pivotal in steering India out of precarious situations.
Anirudhsinh, shedding light on their family journey and his relationship with Ravindra, paints a picture of modest living. Managing expenses from his wife’s pension, he resides alone in a compact flat. Despite their humble circumstances, Anirudhsinh underscores the presence of a dedicated room for Ravindra in their home, emphasizing the enduring familial bond amidst life’s challenges.
Ravindra’s dad shared the story of their family’s sacrifices to fuel his son’s cricket dreams. He spoke about the tough jobs he took up, like lugging milk cans and working as a watchman, to make it all happen. Highlighting their modest beginnings, he stressed the dedication and hard work poured into nurturing Ravindra’s talent. He gave due credit to Ravindra’s sister, portraying her as a motherly figure who played a massive role in his upbringing. However, there was a tinge of sadness in his words when he revealed that Ravindra had distanced himself from his sister, hinting at a strain in their family ties.
“I have some land in my village. I manage my expenses from the ₹20,000 pension of my wife. I live alone in a 2BHK flat. I have a house-help who cooks for me. I am living my life on my own terms. Even in my 2BHK flat, there is still a separate room for Ravindra. “We have worked very hard to make Ravindra a cricketer. I used to carry 20-litre milk cans on my shoulder to earn money. I have even worked as a watchman. We come from a humble background. His sister has done even more than me. She took care of him as a mother. However, he hasn’t kept any relations with his sister either.”
“Right after their marriage, there was a dispute regarding the ownership of Ravindra’s restaurant. She (Rivaba) told him to transfer the ownership of the restaurant to her name. They even had a major fight because of that. His sister thought that he would manage things from now on, and agreed to sign.” Anirudhsinh added.
Mr. Anirudh’s interview set the internet abuzz, sparking extensive conversations among cricket fans and enthusiasts. His revelations provided a glimpse into the personal life of the cricket star, leaving many both surprised and captivated.
Amidst the unfolding controversy, Jadeja took to social media to directly address the allegations. In a statement shared in Gujarati, he brushed off the claims from the interview as “meaningless” and firmly denied any attempts to tarnish either his or his wife Rivaba’s reputation.
Jadeja made it clear that he completely rejected the assertions made by his father in the interview, dismissing them as unfounded and false.
“All the things said in the absurd interview given are meaningless and untrue. It is said on one side. Which I reject. The attempts made to tarnish the image of my beloved wife are truly reprehensible and unbecoming. I also have a lot to say which is fine as long as I don’t say it publicly. Thank you,” said Jadeja in his tweet.
Amid familial tensions and revelations in the public eye, this revelation brings to the forefront the intricate dynamics that exist within the Jadeja family.
