Actress Sanjana Galrani, who charmed audiences in the film “Bujjigadu,” has been relatively absent from the film industry for some time. Known for her roles in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam films, she recently made a splash by participating in the ninth season of Telugu Bigg Boss, where her straightforward approach earned her a spot in the top five contestants. However, her past is shadowed by rumors of a romantic link with Indian cricketer Virat Kohli, which resurfaced recently.
These speculations first emerged during the peak of her career, particularly around the time she was supporting the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2011 IPL season. Sanjana has now addressed these long-standing rumors, providing clarity on her relationship with Kohli. “I am a girl from Bangalore. When I was the top heroine in Kannada cinema, I attended an RCB IPL match as a guest. We shared a good friendship, but nothing beyond that. That was all in the past,” she explained in a recent interview.
Sanjana went on to express her feelings about how these rumors affected her friendship with Kohli. “Being recognized as Virat Kohli’s girlfriend was never a part of my life. However, these baseless love rumors did damage our friendship. If those rumors hadn’t come about, we would have continued to be good friends,” she lamented, indicating that the gossip had left a lasting impact on her emotional well-being.
The story dates back to 2011 when rumors suggested that Sanjana and Virat Kohli were dating. During that IPL season, she frequently attended matches to support her team, RCB. On one occasion, she was spotted wearing an RCB jersey and chatting with Kohli on the field, which led to a flurry of media speculation linking the two. Photos of the pair circulated widely, fueling the rumors further. However, after some time, both Sanjana and Kohli were no longer seen together, leading to a gradual fading of the speculation.
As Sanjana continues to navigate her career and personal life, she hopes to put the rumors behind her and focus on her work. Her participation in Bigg Boss has revitalized her public presence, and she seems eager to explore new opportunities in the entertainment industry. With a determination to move forward, Sanjana Galrani is ready to embrace whatever comes next in her career, leaving the past—and the rumors—behind.
While the entertainment industry often thrives on speculation and rumors, Sanjana’s candid reflections provide a reminder of the personal toll such gossip can take. As she looks ahead, her story serves as an example of how public figures navigate the complexities of fame, friendship, and the often intrusive nature of media attention.
