After Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli, another Cricket-Bollywood romantic liaison is in the news. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Airlift actor Nimrat Kaur is reportedly courting the Indian Cricket Team coach, Ravi Shastri. We didn’t see this coming!
But Ravi and Nimrat have denied the reports. Shastri, in an interview with Asian Age from England, called the reports, “Biggest load of dung” and nothing else.
When pressed further, Shastri repeated: “Nothing to say when it is the biggest load of cow dung. Cow dung says it all.”

The Mumbai Mirror earlier reported that Shastri separated from his wife Ritu, a decade ago and has now fallen hook, line and sinker for Kaur.
Nimrat, too, denied it indirectly in a tweet with “Fact: I may need a root canal. Fiction: Everything else I read about me today. More facts: Fiction can be more hurtful, monday blues exist and I love ice cream. Here’s to trash free happy days ahead”.
The speculated couple apparently managed to keep their relationship hush hush for over two years. The two were paired and roped in for many vehicle model promotions by a luxury automobile brand since 2015.
The Indian team is currently in UK for a test match and Shastri is on tour to coach the team as they lock horns with the England team. Nimrat Kaur on the other hand is busy with the shoot of a web-series.
