Irfan Pathan and Payal Ghosh
After grabbing the headlines for sending a marriage proposal to Mohammed Shami during Cricket World Cup 2023, Indian actress Payal Ghosh has taken the internet by storm by making a shocking revelation about former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan.
On Friday, in a series of posts that went viral on X, she firmly mentioned Irfan Pathan’s name on how both were dating in 2011.
"After we broke up … I fell ill .. I couldn’t work for years… but he was the only guy whom I loved… after that I never loved anybody 🥲," her post read. (sic)
“I dated Irfan for 5 years since 2011 and then everything ended. Gautam Gambhir and Akshay Kumar were there too but I loved Irfan. I would tell Irfan about everything I went through which included the missed calls which I got from Gautam Gambhir. Irfan knew it well as he checked my phone calls,” she said on her X handle. (sic)
“I even confronted this incident in front of his brother Yusuf Pathan, Hardik, and Krunal Pandya after I met them during a domestic match in Pune,” she added. (sic)
With 173 ODI wickets, Pathan played an instrumental role during his playing days for India during the mid-2000s.
Irfan Pathan got married to former Saudi Arabian model Safa Baig in 2016. They both have 2 children.
