On Monday, there were a lot of speculations of the relationship between Indian cricket team coach Ravi Shastri and Bollywood actor Nimrat Kaur spread on the internet in India. As reported by Mumbai Mirror, the two have kept their relationship under wraps for more than two years.

However, Ravi, who is with team India in England, has now responded to the reports. He called the rumors‘ cow dung.’ In a conversation with Mid-Day, he said, “Nothing to say when it is the biggest load of cow dung.”

The rumors reportedly started after Mumbai Mirror wrote, “We hear the two have been dating rather discreetly for over two years. (Shastri is known to have been long estranged from his wife Ritu). It’s also probably more than a coincidence that both Shastri and Nimrat have been roped in by a German luxury carmaker to launch its cars every year since 2015. ”

On Monday, Nimrat reacted to the reports with a cryptic post on Twitter. He tweet read: “Fact: I may need a root canal. Fiction: Everything else I read about me today. More facts: Fiction can be more hurtful, Monday blues exist and I love ice cream. Here’s to trash free happy days ahead.”

Most of the online portals were quick to pick this unsupported rumor and weaved into a narrative of love, longing and autumn-summer romances, doubtless to help relieve their own Monday morning blues.

Meanwhile, Nimrat has last seen in Alt Balaji’s web series The Test Case, and the actor is currently shooting for the next season of the show. She has also been nominated for an iReel Award for Best Actress (Drama). And Ravi Shastri is in England where the Indian cricket team is participating in a five-match Test series.
