She later married Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami in 2014 in Moradabad and it was since 2018 that she has been the headline for media. From accusing Shami of match-fixing, adultery and domestic violence to sharing screenshots of Shami's conversations as well as telephone recordings, the couple had always been in the news.
She also alleged that Shami had relations with women from Bengaluru, Pune, Indore, Nagpur and claimed that the pacer went to meet a woman in Dubai after the South Africa tour.
While the two are not yet divorced, Shami made sure to let all this affect him and has since bounced back making it back to the Indian team fitter in all forms of cricket.

Dinesh Karthik's story involves love, heartbreak, betrayal and falling in love again. The wicketkeeper-batter was first married to Nikita Vanjara in 2007.
However, five years into the marriage, Nikita fell in love with Karthik's once good friend and Tamil Nadu teammate Murali Vijay. In 2012, Tamil Nadu was playing against Karnataka when Karthik came to know about his wife's affair and the incident forced Karthik to divorce Nikita.
Despite the sad turn of events, Dinesh Karthik found love again after he met Indian squash player Dipika Pallikal in 2015. They both fell in love and started dating each other and in August 2015, both tied the knot.
Now the couple is blessed with twin boys named Kabir and Zian.
