Another Indian international cricket player, Yuvraj Singh, is her rakhi-brother.

Ritika Sajdeh Story:
While Ritika Sajdeh had dealings with a number of celebrities from the sports field due to her job profile, she gained celebrity status after she began dating the ‘Hitman’ of Indian cricket, Rohit Sharma. She was introduced to him by her rakhi-brother Yuvraj Singh during a Reebok shoot in 2008, which she was managing. In an interview on YouTube’s web series ‘Breakfast with Champions’ on December 22, 2017, Rohit revealed to host Gaurav Kapoor how that meeting was a disaster.
After reaching the venue, he went on to greet senior player Yuvraj, who was already there with teammate Irfan Pathan and was accompanied by Ritika. As soon as they shook hands, Yuvi introduced him to her and jokingly said not to even look at her as she is his sister. Rohit was worried and angry throughout the shoot, but managed to complete it. However, after the shoot, he was told by the director that he needs to re-record his lines as the mic was off. Frustrated, when he came down for a walk, he was joined by Ritika who nicely told him to let her know if he needs any assistance. They became friends afterwards, and she started managing him as well. From manager and friend, she soon became his best friend, and the two began dating shortly after.
Ritika Sajdeh Relationship with Rohit:
Six year into the relationship, on April 28, 2015, Rohit Sharma reportedly drove Ritika Sajdeh to Borivali sports club ground, where he first started playing competitively at the age of 11, and proposed to her with a solitaire ring. They got engaged on June 3, 2015 and subsequently got married on December 13, 2015 at Mumbai’s Taj Lands Hotel in Bandra (West). The ceremony was attended by a host of famous people from sports, Bollywood, business and politics. The Ambanis also organized a Wedding Celebration party for Rohit Sharma and his teammate Harbhajan Singh, who had also wedded recently, at their residence Antilla in Mumbai. On December 14, 2015, her brother Kunal threw a post-wedding Music and Dance party at the St. Regis Astor Ballroom-Level 9, Near Palladium Mall in Lower Parel, Mumbai.
