“I was to get engaged in October with an Afghanistan cricketer. He had been chosen by my father. But after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, we may have to put an end to the relationship. He was my father’s friend’s son. We are also on talking terms and are like friends, but now I’m sure my parents will find me an Indian partner,” she was quoted as saying by Zee News.

The 31-year-old revealed that her family’s roots are in Afghanistan, but her family moved to India when she was just four years old.
