Manish Pandey- Ashrita Shetty's Love Story: From Marrying A Day After Winning Trophy To More

Kolkata Knight Riders batsman, Manish Pandey has created history as he turned out to be the fourth player to be featured in all the Indian Premier League editions. He has joined the elite club with his excellent achievement, and after MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma, he is the fourth player to achieve this success. However, Manish has often hogged the limelight due to his personal life. There have been reports doing rounds for a long time that the cricketer and his wife, a Tamil actress, are heading for a divorce.

It is interesting to note that Manish and Ashrita had a love marriage and got married a day after making Karnataka win the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. In fact, Manish was the most impactful player on the March 31, 2025, match of Mumbai Indians Vs Kolkata Knight Riders. Sadly. His wife, Ashrita, was not there at the stand, unlike other cricketers' girlfriends and wives to cheer for their partners.

Manish Pandey got married to Ashrita Shetty a day after his Karnataka team won against Tamil Nadu

It is not uncommon for cricketers not to fall for actresses. A similar case was with Manish, who met Ashrita, who came from a South Indian family and made a mark in Tamil and Tulu cinema. On December 2, 2019, the couple got married in a traditional Hindu ceremony. A day before his marriage, Pandey, the then-captain of the Karnataka team, put his full focus on making 45-ball 60 runs and made his team reach 180 runs in the final held against Tamil Nadu in Surat. Manish also said in his post-match speech that he was getting married the next day. During a post-match chat, Manish, as quoted by the Hindustan Times, said:

"Looking forward to the India series, but before that, there is another important series for me, I am getting married tomorrow."

Manish's wife, Ashrita, gained fame after she won the Times of India, Clean & Clear Fresh Face Award back in 2010 and then began her journey in the entertainment line. Ashrita has had the grace and charm that swooned Manish off his feet. She has been a multitalented lady, a model who achieved immense success. Ashrita had shown her power in cinema via her acting chops and had also created a space in Manish's heart.

When Manish Pandey could not stop raving about being married

Back in 2019, SunRisers Hyderabad dropped a mushy wish for Manish, which showcased an unseen picture of the cricketer from his varmala ceremony. The pair married at the Leela Hotel in Mumbai. Manish looked dapper in a beige-hued sherwani while Ashrita stunned in a red and champagned-hued silk saree. Her makeup was subtle, and she opted for bright red lipstick and a big gajra that was done in a braided style along with white flowers. Manish captioned his wedding diary album as:

"A big thank you to everyone who were a part of this. Thank you for your love and best wishes.”

Sadly, after marriage, Ashrita took a break from the film industry, and today, she and Manish do not even follow one another on social media. The pair has given no justification related to the divorce buzz.

Manish Pandey and Ashrita Shetty are divorced?

Marriages have been getting crumbled like papers. Manish, who seemed to have a happy marriage, is also in troubled waters. There have been Shikhar Dhawan, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Hardik Pandya, who have been separated apart from Mohammed Shami. There have been many reports doing rounds stating that Manish Pandey is also opting for separation. Now, it is also said that neither Manish nor Ashrita follow one another on social media. They have not even been seen together recently at any of the social events and have even stopped making public appearances together. If you look closely at Manish's Instagram account, you will see that he is not following Ashrita in his followers list. The duo have not even posted pictures together, and it has been a while now.
