Contrary to Shivam Dube's quite public professional life, Anjum Khan has always been quite private as a person. In an era of oversharing, she and Shivam managed to date for several years under after meeting through a mutual friend, as per reports. When they finally decided to tie the knot on July 16, 2021, they didn't just choose a wedding; they chose to honour both of their heritages.Their inter-faith marriage featured both Hindu and Muslim rituals, as per reports.
The couple faced their fair share of online criticism for their inter-faith marriage. But, they stayed grounded, proving their love for each other. It also showed that a solid foundation at home is the best defense against external criticism. Today, they are a happy family of four, having welcomed their son, Ayaan, in 2022, and their daughter, Mahvish, in early 2025.Shivam Dube's early struggles

If you think Shivam Dube had an easy path to the 2026 T20 World Cup winning squad, think again. Shivam’s cricket journey almost ended before it truly began. In a candid throwback, he revealed a struggle that would have broken most athletes: "I stopped playing cricket when I was 14 because of some financial constraints... I returned to cricket only when I was 19."Imagine being a teenager with a dream and having to walk away for five years. That’s a lifetime in professional sports. Returning at 19 meant he had to work twice as hard to regain his fitness and find his rhythm. But when he did return, he did it with a vengeance. He famously smashed five sixes in a single over during a Ranji Trophy match, a feat that essentially forced the IPL scouts to pay attention, as per reports. The rest, as they say, is history. And now, he has carved a personal milestone by being a a core part of the 2026 T20 World Cup winning squad. Throughout this rollercoaster—the five-year hiatus, the inconsistent early international years, and the eventual global glory—Anjum has been his most consistent cheerleader. While she keeps her life private, the glimpses she shares on social media show a partner who is deeply invested in the grind, not just the glamour.
Why their story mattersThe Dube-Khan household is a reminder that success isn't just about what happens on the pitch. It’s about the person who keeps you centered and stands by you when the internet decides to have an opinion on your private life. It also shows that true love finds you, no matter the circumstances. Shivam’s comeback and Anjum’s steady support make them one of the most authentically resilient couples in the sport today.Here's to Shivam and Anjum, may their bond grow stronger!Who is your favourite cricket couple?
