On 9th January, Anirudh Jadeja gave an interview to Divya Bhaskar. In the interview he claimed he had a strained relationship with his son, Ravindra Jadeja, since his marriage. He further blamed his daughter-in-law, Rivaba Jadeja, for causing the strain.
In the interview, he claimed he regretted getting his son to become a cricketer and married to his wife, who was a mechanical engineer. He added that Rivaba wanted an independent lifestyle and not be involved with the family.
Anirudh claimed he has not met his son and his family in five years, despite living in the same city. He further added that his son’s in-laws and Rivaba controlled his son’s life and was the cause for the rift in the family. Seeing all the claims made by his father, the all-rounder went on X to call him out.
Ravindra Jadeja requests fans to ignore ‘scripted interviews’
Ravindra Jadeja went on X after the interview was released, calling the interview scripted. In a statement released by the all-rounder, he said the claims made by his father were fake and were just means to tarnish the image of his wife. He said he has much to say as well, but won’t reveal it.
All the things said in the absurd interview given to Divya Dhaskar are meaningless and untrue. It is said on one side. Which I reject. The attempts made to tarnish the image of my wife, Rivaba, are truly reprehensible and unbecoming. I also have a lot to say which is fine as long as I don't say it publicly. Let's ignore what's said in scripted interviews. Thank youJadeja wrote on X
Jadeja is currently in the NCA undergoing a recovery for his hamstring injury, along with KL Rahul. He suffered it during the 1st Test when he got run-out. There are still doubts regarding his selection, with the BCCI delaying the squad announcement.
