Indian cricketer Mohammed Siraj has finally broken his silence on the ongoing rumors linking him romantically with actress Mahira Sharma. The speculation, which has been circulating for months, gained traction after both Siraj and Mahira followed each other on Instagram, and Siraj liked one of Mahira’s posts. The situation escalated when Mahira made an appearance at an award function, where photographers teased her about the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL), indirectly linking her to Siraj. Following the event, Siraj took to social media to address the matter and urged paparazzi to refrain from questioning Mahira about him.
Mahira and Siraj reactions
On March 21, Mohammed Siraj posted an Instagram story to express his frustration with the rumors. In his statement, he wrote, “I request paparazzi’s to stop asking questions around me. It is completely untrue and baseless. I hope this ends,” adding a folded-hand emoji. However, the post was later deleted, leading to further speculation among fans.
Mahira Sharma, best known for her participation in Bigg Boss 13, attended an award function in Mumbai on March 20, where photographers playfully teased her about IPL and her preferred team.
The speculation about their relationship initially emerged after a report by ETimes, which suggested that sources close to Mahira and Siraj claimed they were dating but keeping their relationship private. According to the report, the two had been getting to know each other for a few months. However, both Mahira and her mother have previously denied these claims.
Fans were quick to notice that Siraj and Mahira followed each other on Instagram, which further fueled the dating rumors. When Siraj liked one of Mahira’s posts, speculation intensified. In the era of social media, minor interactions between celebrities often lead to exaggerated stories, and this situation was no exception.
