“I’ve been single for over three years”: Gill
Just a few weeks ago, Gill candidly responded to ongoing rumors about his love life, stating that he has been single for over three years and remains completely focused on his cricketing career. In a series of interviews, Gill set the record straight in response to ongoing speculation linking him to various celebrities, including Sarah Tendulkar, Sarah Ali Khan And Avneet Kaur.
Gill pointed out that many of the link stories are baseless, revealing, “I’ve been single for over three years. There’s been so much speculation and rumors, linking me to different people. Sometimes it’s so ridiculous that I would have never seen or met this person in my life. And I would hear rumors that I’m with this person and that person, where else I’d be like…”
He explained that his busy schedule – 300 days of touring a year – leaves him no time for romantic relationships, stating: “I’m so focused on what I need to do in my professional career. There’s no space in my life to be with someone. We’re on the road somewhere. So there’s hardly any time to invest in a relationship with someone.”
