New Delhi:
Success in the film industry often hinges on luck, and even talented stars face hurdles in establishing their careers. Today, we highlight a talented actress with royal lineage, who has captured audiences with her acting skills.
Sagarika Ghatge gained significant recognition for her debut film alongside Shah Rukh Khan, which showcased both her acting ability and beauty. However, despite this initial acclaim, she did not receive the opportunities she anticipated. Her life took a significant turn when she fell in love with star cricketer Zaheer Khan, a relationship that garnered considerable media attention. Recently, Sagarika became a mother.
Sagarika’s Debut in “Chak De! India”
Sagarika made her film debut in “Chak De! India,” starring opposite Shah Rukh Khan. Her performance in the film was noteworthy, particularly given her background as a national-level hockey player, which enhanced her portrayal of the sport.
Royal Heritage
Born into the royal family of Kolhapur, Sagarika is the daughter of Vijay Singh Ghatge, the king of Kagal. Additionally, her grandmother was the daughter of the Maharaja of Indore, cementing her royal lineage.
In 2017, Sagarika married Zaheer Khan, following a well-publicized relationship. They made their first public appearance together at the wedding of Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech, which drew media attention. After their marriage, she chose to prioritize her personal life over her film career.
Motherhood
After eight years of marriage, Sagarika welcomed a son named Fatehsen Khan. Speculation about her pregnancy arose due to a lack of public information, with suggestions that the child may have been born via surrogacy, although Sagarika has not confirmed this.
In her acting career, Sagarika has appeared in various films, including “Mile Na Mile Hum,” “Fox,” and “Rush.” Besides Hindi films, she has also ventured into Marathi and Punjabi cinema. Her last theatrical release was “Irada” in 2017, and she made a return to the screen in 2020 with the OTT platform production “Footpheri,” though her comeback did not receive widespread acclaim.
