Cricket is fine, but what job will you do… Girlfriend asked a question to the cricketer, Team India’s bowler was stunned.

New Delhi. Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s name is taken with respect in the cricket world today. Recently, he achieved such a historic record in an exciting IPL match, which has put him on a different position in world cricket. In the match between Gujarat Titans and Royal Challengers Bangalore, Bhuvneshwar completed his 200 wickets in IPL in India. He achieved this feat by dismissing Sai Sudarshan and Shubhman Gill and now he is also leading in the race for ‘Purple Cap’ in IPL 2026. But this success story of Bhuvneshwar is not limited to the cricket field only. His personal life, especially his love story with his wife Nupur Nagar, is no less than a film script. This is the story of ‘childhood love’, which started from a neighbor and reached the journey of life partner.

The story of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Nupur Nagar started when both of them were very young. Bhuvneshwar was about 13 years old and Nupur was 11 years old. Both of their childhoods were spent in the same colony. Bhuvi had told Gaurav Kapoor in the show ‘Breakfast with Champion’ that, ‘We have known each other since we were 12-13 years old. We lived in the house next to each other. It was as if if I threw a stone from my house, it would fall in their house. This was the period when the meaning of love was associated with innocence. While playing together, both of them reached adolescence and fell in love with each other, they themselves did not know.

When Nupur took Bhuvi’s ‘interview’
The most interesting episode of Bhuvneshwar and Nupur’s love story is when the talk of marriage moved forward. When Bhuvi talked about marriage with Nupur, Nupur herself took an ‘interview’ of Bhuvaneshwar before telling her parents. This moment was surprising for Bhuvi. Nupur asked, ‘It is fine that you play cricket, but what job will you do in future?’ Bhuvaneshwar says that he was stunned to hear this. He was not able to understand how to explain to Nupur that cricket is his career. With great difficulty he explained to Nupur that he was playing Ranji Trophy and was dreaming of playing for India in future. For Nupur, who was working as a software engineer at that time, it was a question of career uncertainty, but it was Bhuvi’s determination that won Nupur’s heart.

Propose three times and secret love
There is no less element of romance in Bhuvaneshwar’s love story. Nupur had revealed in an interview that Bhuvi had proposed her thrice. The first time through text message, the second time on a phone call and the third time face to face. Their love remained hidden from the eyes of their parents for about 3-4 years. They often met secretly because they were afraid of what would happen if their family found out. However, in the end the parents came to know everything. Bhuvi admitted that perhaps she did not have the courage to tell it herself, but after everything came to light, her parents accepted their relationship.

a happy life
After tying the knot in Meerut on 23 November 2017, Bhuvaneshwar and Nupur’s world changed completely. Today he is living a happy life. Today, when Bhuvneshwar Kumar is making the batsmen dance with the new ball on the field and has become the first Indian bowler to take 200 wickets in the history of IPL, behind his success is the support and trust of Nupur, which, starting from the streets of childhood, has today become an example of a successful married life. This love story proves that if the intentions are good and the relationship is true, then childhood love can become a lifelong companion.
