Keshav Maharaj tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend in April 2022, considering himself fortunate to have her as his life partner. 

Lerisha, the wife of South African cricketer Keshav Maharaj, is not just a beautiful soul but also a remarkably talented Kathak dancer, tracing her roots back to India, much like Keshav, whose ancestors hail from Uttar Pradesh.

Keshav and Lerisha's love story began through mutual acquaintances, blossoming from friendship to a romantic relationship.

Despite their strong connection, they chose to keep their love a secret from friends and family. 

Merging their diverse backgrounds posed a challenge in gaining Keshav's parents' approval for their union. Lerisha's Kathak skills played a pivotal role in overcoming this obstacle. 

Keshav organized a special dance performance featuring Lerisha, inviting his mother and other family members. 

Lerisha Munsamy, Keshav Maharaj's wife, has a deep love for Bollywood songs, Hindi films, and the captivating dance routines that accompany them. 

Keshav Maharaj's spouse, Lerisha Munsamy, shares a passion for dancing to the vibrant tunes of Bollywood and holds a profound affection for Indian cinema.
