‘Andhera tha': Rohit Sharma narrates how he surprised wife Ritika Sajdeh and proposed to her
Indian men's ODI team captain Rohit Sharma recently shared his romantic proposal story, detailing how he surprised his then-girlfriend, Ritika Sajdeh, on the ground where he first started playing cricket in Mumbai's Borivali. 'She had brought me food from home. So, I told her, let's go for ice cream. We crossed a lot of places in between and she was wondering where the ice cream is,' quipped Sharma, popularly called Hitman, in a conversation with Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra. Adding that he drove her to the place where he started playing cricket, Rohit said that Ritika did not realise where they were. 'We went to the ground. Ground me andhera tha. (It was dark). So, she didn't realise it was a ground. I had already told my friend to set up something and be there to capture the moment. When I drove to the middle of the ground, I went on my knees in the middle of the pitch,' he continued. The rest, as they say, is history. The couple, who got married in 2015, has two children. Reflecting on this heartwarming gesture, Delnna Rrajesh, psychotherapist, energy healer, and life coach, said Rohit Sharma's proposal to Ritika in a place that held emotional significance for them wasn't about grandeur. 'It was about meaning. It was about going back to where it all began. The humility in that act—the simplicity of asking a big question in a deeply personal way—shows us that love doesn't always need fireworks. Sometimes, it just needs presence,' Delnna told It's not about a moment. It's about a commitment; a decision to grow, to evolve, and to hold each other through life's real ups and downs. 'There's something deeply special about proposals. They're not just about a ring or a moment that goes viral. They are about a soul-level commitment, the beginning of a lifetime that two people choose to build together. A proposal is the space where love meets intent. It reflects not just how deeply you feel, but also how seriously you are willing to show up,' said Delnna. From a couple therapy perspective, a healthy proposal, Delnna shared, holds space for shared vision, emotional honesty, and future accountability. 'It is less about theatrics and more about whether both individuals are entering this new chapter with clarity, mutual respect, and alignment in their core values,' reflected Delnna.
