[WATCH] Sanjana Ganesan Opens Up About Jasprit Bumrah’s Unexpected Proposal Moment

Sports presenter Sanjana Ganesan shared that it was Jasprit Bumrah who took the initiative to propose marriage. Speaking on a chat show alongside her husband, she recounted how the pacer had thoughtfully planned the proposal during the IPL 2020 season in the UAE, at a time when players were living in a bio-secure bubble due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Bumrah and Sanjana tied the knot in March 2021 after dating for a few years and welcomed their son Angad in September 2023. Appearing on the show Who’s The Boss?, hosted by Geeta Basra and Harbhajan Singh, the couple revealed that Bumrah proposed during the IPL 2020 in the UAE while they were in a COVID-19 bubble. He also shared how he planned the special moment.

“That was during COVID time. So, there were bubbles for each and every team. As luck would have it, she was in KKR and I was with Mumbai Indians (MI). Both the teams were in Abu Dhabi. I carried a ring in hope that perhaps after the tournament ends I’ll get a chance. Apart from the ground interaction, we couldn’t meet because of the bubble.”

“So, she was out. Then, I had to tell people that look, I’ve brought this ring. Please arrange a bubble to bubble transfer. So, that transfer happened. When she arrived, I did everything myself. I placed the cake myself, decorated everything in my room and I had the ring ready,” the Indian lead pacer continued.

“Mujhe Laga Girlfriend Ya Wife Hogi”– Bumrah, Sanjana Recall Funny First Meeting

Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjana Ganesan shared a funny memory of their first meeting during the 2019 ODI World Cup in England on the show Who’s The Boss?. Sanjana joked that since Bumrah didn’t greet her, she assumed he was either married or had a girlfriend watching him. The couple later married in March 2021 and welcomed their son Angad in September 2023.

“So, this was in 2019 in the World Cup. I was working there, so I was obviously around practices a lot. I know a lot of the other boys like DK [Dinesh Karthik], etc. When I used to walk onto the field, they used to wave ‘hi’ very casually and I would go about my work. And Jasprit, he’s standing in a group of people that are all saying ‘hi’ to me and he’s making this face (stoic expression).”

“Mujhe laga maybe girlfriend hogi, wife hogi [I thought maybe his girlfriend or wife would be watching]. She must be seeing him sitting from somewhere. I noticed him because he had this wall up and he’s like main to ‘hi’ nahi bolunga, eye contact bhi nahi banaunga. Main toh aise dekunga. [I won’t talk or make eye contact. I will give this look]. I was like either I have done something or that’s his personality.”
