‘Why are we here today’ – Rivaba Jadeja responds to allegations made by Ravindra Jadeja’s father

Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja found himself at the centre of a family controversy when his father’s comments in a recent interview went viral on social media. In the interview, Jadeja’s father candidly shared that his relationship with the star all-rounder and his wife, Rivaba, has been strained for quite some time.

Ravindra Jadeja swiftly responded to the allegations on social media, dismissing the interview as “meaningless and false.” He specifically addressed the attempt to tarnish his wife’s image, calling it “improper and condemnable.” While Jadeja acknowledged that he had a lot to say, he chose not to disclose further details publicly.

Recently, Rivaba, responding to questions about the accusations during an event, chose not to dwell on the topic, redirecting inquiries to contact her directly for further clarification. “Why are we here today? You can contact me directly if you want to know about it,” Rivaba said.

The interview with Jadeja’s father shed light on the apparent distance between the cricketer and his family. His father revealed that they live separately and have minimal communication, a situation that reportedly arose a few months into Ravindra’s marriage. Expressing regret over his son’s cricketing career, Jadeja’s father lamented the strained relationship and suggested that things might have been different if Ravindra Jadeja hadn’t become a cricketer.

The elder Jadeja disclosed that he currently resides alone in Jamnagar, while Ravindra lives in his separate bungalow in the same city. He expressed bewilderment over the perceived influence of Ravindra’s wife, Rivaba, and regretted making him a cricketer, indicating that their familial bonds might have remained intact if not for the cricketing career.

The interview also delved into financial matters, with Jadeja’s father claiming that within three months of the marriage, Rivaba insisted on transferring everything to her name, leading to family discord. He further alleged interference from Rivaba’s family and mentioned a lack of contact with his granddaughter for five years.

The public airing of family grievances has sparked a mix of reactions, with fans expressing concern for the personal turmoil within the Jadeja family and highlighting the challenges that come with fame and public scrutiny.
