This is the story of Sagarika Ghatge, an actress with a royal lineage from Kolhapur, who is now married to former Indian cricket captain Zaheer Khan. Ghatge’s acting career began with a bang, starring alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the iconic film ‘Chak De India,’ where her performance as a hockey player earned critical praise. Despite this strong debut, the actress’s film career did not gain significant momentum. Her personal life, however, took center stage when she embarked on a relationship with cricket star Zaheer Khan. The couple’s union in 2017 was a significant event, following a period of dating that became public knowledge. They have since expanded their family, with the recent birth of their son, Fatehsen Khan. Sagarika’s royal heritage is notable; she belongs to the Kagal royal family of Kolhapur, and her family tree includes connections to the former rulers of Indore. Her experience as a national-level hockey player informed her memorable role in ‘Chak De India.’ While she has appeared in a few other films and explored opportunities on OTT platforms, Sagarika has consciously shifted her focus away from a demanding film career to embrace motherhood and married life. Her journey highlights a graceful transition from the spotlight of cinema to a fulfilling personal life alongside a cricketing legend.
