Google search shows Afghan cricketer Rashid Khan's wife is Anushka Sharma. Why?


If you type ‘Rashid Khan wife’ on the Google search bar, Anushka Sharma’s name appears first in the results page. After her name on the page, a short bio of Rashid is written followed by his marital status that reads, ‘Married’. Wife’s name is written as Anushka Sharma. As for the Marriage Date column, her wedding date with Virat Kohli is mentioned December 11, 2017.

Why does Anushka Sharma’s name appear if we search for ‘Rashid Khan wife’?

It so happened that Rashid was asked to name his favourite Bollywood actresses during an Instagram chat session with his fans and followers in 2018. In response to the question, Rashid named Anushka Sharma and Preity Zinta. Thereafter, Rashid Khan trended furiously as news outlets reported Anushka Sharma as his favourite actress, as mentioned by him. That’s the connection between Rashid Khan and Anushka Sharma. That’s it. Ever since those incessant headlines of Anushka being Rashid Khan’s favourite actress, Google has been showing Anushka Sharma as Rashid Khan’s wife.

Is Rashid Khan married?

To conclude this, Anushka Sharma is not Rashid Khan’s wife as depicted by Google. In fact, Rashid Khan is not married and asked about it, said during an interview in July, that he will “get engaged and married once Afghanistan wins the cricket World Cup”.

Well, well.
