Ravindra Jadeja Refutes Father’s Claims, Calls Interview ‘Scripted’

India cricketer Ravindra Jadeja dismissed his father’s accusations of a strained relationship between them, denouncing the interview given by his father to a leading daily as nonsensical and contrived.

Anirudhsinh Jadeja, the senior Jadeja, made a startling claim, suggesting that issues arose in their relationship following the cricketer’s marriage to Rivaba in April 2016.

Jadeja took to his social media platform to urge people not to trust “scripted interviews.” The Indian all-rounder also expressed concerns about attempts to besmirch his and his wife’s reputation. Rivaba serves as a member of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly from the Jamnagar North Assembly constituency.

“Let’s disregard the content of scripted interviews,” Jadeja stated on Friday, February 9.

“The assertions made in the questionable interview with Divya Bhaskar hold no significance and are untrue. These are one-sided remarks that I refute. The endeavor to tarnish my wife’s reputation is inappropriate and deserving of condemnation. While I have much to say, it is prudent not to divulge such matters publicly.”

‘There’s just hate’ In an interview with Divya Bhaskar, Jadeja’s father alleged that Rivaba was causing discord within the family. He also lamented the existence of nothing but animosity between the two families.

“He is my son, and it pains me deeply. I wish I had not consented to his marriage. It would have been preferable if he had not pursued a career in cricket. Then, we would not have had to endure these challenges,” Jadeja’s father lamented.
