Fact Check: Shubhman Gill Hugging Sara Tendulkar? Viral Image Sparks Debate On Social Media - Here's The Truth Behind Picture
The Viral Image That Sparked Rumours
The photo in question was taken during Yuvraj Singh's charity fundraiser event in London on July 8, 2025, where several celebrities and cricket stars gathered to support cancer awareness and treatment. Shubman Gill, who is currently leading the Indian Test team, was in attendance and seen greeting guests warmly.
One particular moment where Gill hugged a woman dressed in white quickly spread across Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and fan pages. With both Shubman and Sara reportedly in London at the time, fans jumped to conclusions that the woman was none other than Sara Tendulkar. The image was labelled by many as the 'perfect picture of the day,' and dating rumours flared up yet again.
Fact Check: It Wasn't Sara Tendulkar
Contrary to speculation, the woman in the viral image is not Sara Tendulkar. In reality, the person hugging Shubman Gill is Hazel Keech, former Bollywood actress and wife of Yuvraj Singh. The original photo was shared by Hazel herself on her verified social media account, showing her meeting and greeting guests including Gill at the fundraiser.
That viral video with Shubman Gill?

Dressed in white and bearing some facial resemblance to Sara, Hazel was mistakenly identified by fans, which led to widespread confusion online.
Hazel Keech At The Event
Hazel Keech, a familiar face in the cricketing circuit thanks to her connection with Yuvraj Singh, was actively involved in the fundraiser. She has often supported her husband's foundation events and has been a regular attendee at cricket charity matches and related causes. The hug between Hazel and Gill was a simple, friendly moment captured on camera nothing more. The photo's romantic interpretation was purely fan speculation fueled by past rumours.
The History Behind Gill-Sara Rumours
This isn't the first time Shubman Gill and Sara Tendulkar have been linked. For years, their social media interactions including likes, comments, and follows have kept fans speculating about a possible relationship. At one point, both even unfollowed each other, adding fuel to the rumour mill.
Despite neither confirming anything publicly, fans continue to monitor their activities closely. So, when this new image surfaced, it didn't take long for people to assume it was Sara — even though it wasn't.
Social Media vs Reality
The incident is yet another example of how quickly assumptions spread online, especially when celebrities and cricketers are involved. While fans may enjoy romantic narratives, this case shows how misleading viral moments can be when taken out of context.
Shubman Gill remains focused on his cricketing duties, and Sara Tendulkar has not commented on the latest viral moment. As for the photo, it's now clear that it was Hazel Keech not Sara Tendulkar sharing a warm hug with Gill at the London event.
So, the next time a photo goes viral, it's worth taking a moment to fact-check before jumping to conclusions. While the Gill-Sara mystery continues to intrigue fans, this latest chapter turned out to be a case of mistaken identity and a reminder that not everything on social media is as it seems.

'She's a 20/20!': Travis Kelce's sweet comment on Taylor Swift has fans in full meltdown mode
(Image via Instagram) Okay, Travis, we see you. Just when we thought the Taylor Swift–Travis Kelce offseason was all peace, snow, and low-key vibes, the Chiefs star tight end jumped into the comment section and dropped the cutest compliment yet: 'She's a 20/20!!' Cue the Swiftie spiral. The quote came in response to a post from the Calm Down Podcast, where hosts Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson finally opened up about their secret snowy getaway with Taylor and Travis. Between the photos, the sweet words, and that offhand 20/20 rating, fans are calling this the softest, realest Kelce moment yet. Travis Kelce calls Taylor 'a 20/20' and says it was one of his best offseason memories Let's start with the comment that started it all. Under a video shared by Calm Down Podcast, Travis Kelce wrote: 'She's a 20/20!! Some of the best memories of the offseason. Jimmy's forever!!!' Travis Kelce Calls Taylor Swift 'a 20/20' While the 'Jimmy's' part is likely an inside joke (possibly tied to the trip), fans were locked in on that '20/20' praise. Not a 10. Not an 11. A full-on perfect score. And considering Kelce's known for keeping his relationship with Taylor relatively low-key on social media, the gesture felt extra meaningful. That one-liner did what Travis's usual touchdowns can't, it sent Swifties into full emotional overtime. The Calm Down Podcast crew finally spills details about the trip and Taylor passed the vibe check Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson had been tight-lipped about their mystery trip with Kelce and Swift, but on a new episode of their podcast, they let fans in on the experience. Charissa gushed, saying Taylor was: 'Everything I'd ever hoped and dreamed that she could have been and more.' Erin called the Grammy-winner: 'A 20 out of 20.' And she made it clear that their group, six close friends had 'some fun' and 'a good, good time.' While they were careful not to overstep, they made it clear: Taylor Swift is just as sweet, fun, and down-to-earth as fans imagine. And the group snow trip? Total bestie-core. A snowy retreat, a quiet offseason, and a rare glimpse into real romance This is one of the first full looks fans have gotten into Taylor and Travis's offseason. After a whirlwind Super Bowl and Eras Tour appearances, the couple stepped out of the spotlight for a while to Montana. And now, between this podcast spill and Kelce's public declaration of love, fans are piecing the whole thing together. Travis Kelce calling Taylor Swift 'a 20/20' isn't just sweet, it's basically his way of saying she's the gold standard. Whether it's catching touchdowns or catching feelings, Kelce isn't afraid to show love where it's due. And fans? They're here for every second of it.
