Ajinkya Rahane And His Wife Radhika Lived In The Same Complex
An ace batsman, a humble person, a doting father, and a loving husband, such words perfectly describe cricketer Ajinkya Rahane. The one-woman man has been happily married to his wife for 10 years! Not only that but the pair dated for 8 beautiful years before tying the knot.
Lovestruck Ajinkya couldn’t stop blushing while he gushed about his wife. He said that his wife and he lived in the same complex. But here’s a more juicy connection! Turns out, his wife Radhika and his sister also studied in the same college! But alas, Ajinkya’s sister did not play Cupid for his brother, so he had to woo beautiful Radhika himself.
The cricketer spoke about how he fell in love with his wife saying, “During those days, we chatted on Orkut but rarely mustered the courage to speak in person. I have spent more time in her college than mine, waiting for her to come out and meet me.” We don’t know about you, but we are definitely swooning!
