Ravindra Jadeja has outrightly rejected accusations made by his father

He denounced interview as "fabricated" and an attempt to smear his wife

Jadeja's father alleged that his son had distanced himself from the family

Ravindra Jadeja has outrightly rejected the accusations made by his father, Anirudhsinh Jadeja, in a recent interview published in a Gujarati daily. He denounced the interview as “fabricated” and an attempt to smear the reputation of his wife, Rivaba. Taking to a microblogging website, Jadeja expressed his disdain for what he termed a “premeditated” narrative designed to cast aspersions on his family life.

In the contentious interview, Jadeja’s father alleged that his son had distanced himself from the family and blamed Rivaba for discord within the household. Among the allegations was a dispute over the ownership of Ravindra’s restaurant, where his father claimed Rivaba insisted on transferring ownership to her name, sparking a heated confrontation. Moreover, Anirudhsinh Jadeja disclosed his financial dependency on his wife’s modest pension, further highlighting the strained relations within the family.

Expressing his dismay, Jadeja’s father also lamented the strained relationship between himself and his daughter, underscoring the emotional toll the situation has taken on the family dynamic. He asserted his stance, declaring that it is his son’s responsibility to initiate contact, not his, a sentiment tinged with palpable anguish over the perceived familial rift.

Amidst these familial tensions, Ravindra Jadeja is expected to rejoin the Indian cricket squad for the ongoing Test series against England, following his absence due to injury. His return to the fold promises to be a significant moment, albeit overshadowed by the personal turmoil highlighted in his father’s controversial interview.
