A photo of Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj with Zanai Bhosle, granddaughter of legendary singer Asha Bhosle, recently went viral on social media, sparking speculation about their relationship. However, the truth behind the image has now come to light.
Birthday Celebration, Not Romance
Sources close to both Siraj and the Bhosle family have clarified that the photo was taken at Zanai’s birthday celebration. The 21-year-old aspiring singer considers Siraj, 29, to be like an older brother figure.
“Zanai and Siraj have known each other for a few years through mutual friends,” an insider explained. “She looks up to him as a protective older brother, nothing more.”
Family Ties
Zanai Bhosle, daughter of Asha Bhosle’s son Anand, has been making a name for herself as a singer. She often refers to Siraj affectionately as “bhaiya” (brother) on social media.
Asha Bhosle herself commented on the viral photo, stating: “It’s heartwarming to see the younger generation supporting each other. Siraj is like family to us.”
Focusing on Careers
Both Siraj and Zanai remain dedicated to their respective careers. Siraj continues to excel for the Indian cricket team, while Zanai is working on launching her music career.
“They’re just good friends celebrating a birthday,” a representative for Siraj said. “Any rumors of a romantic relationship are completely false.”
This clarification puts to rest the speculation that arose from the viral photo, highlighting the importance of context in the age of social media.
