Ashish Nehra’s cheeky remark on Hardik Pandya's love life leaves the internet in splits

Hardik Pandya has long attracted attention beyond the cricket field. His personal life often trends as much as his performances. Now, the former India pacer Ashish Nehra has added humour to the mix. A playful comment on a podcast has left fans laughing and social media buzzing.

A light moment turns into a viral punchline

Ashish Nehra appeared on the podcast Who’s The Boss? with his wife Rushma Nehra, alongside Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra. The mood was candid and fun and they played a game wherein articipants had to match film titles with cricketers. When Khiladi Number 1 came up, Ashish joked, “Harbhajan was Khiladi Number One in the department of girls before marriage." Geeta instantly countered with a smile, saying, “This even I know that he is not Khiladi Number One off the field." Laughter filled the room. Harbhajan then recalled a wild UK night, adding, “I looked back and Ashish was sitting on that bald guy’s shoulder and playing on his head. That guy is also enjoying." The banter kept getting better.

The Devdas comment that stole the show

Things peaked when the film Devdas entered the conversation. Harbhajan immediately named Hardik Pandya, Ashish paused and questioned the choice. Then came the punchline. “Why?" he asked before adding, “I have heard woh toh roz Paro change karta hai (He changes Paro everyday)." The comment landed hard. Everyone burst out laughing. The line spread fast online. While clearly made in jest, the remark became the episode’s most talked-about moment.
