Mumbai: Krishna Shroff, daughter of veteran actor Jackie Shroff and sister of Bollywood star Tiger Shroff, is making headlines not just for her performance on reality show The 50, but also for her cross-border love story with Afghan MMA fighter Abdul Azim Badakhshi.
Krishna, who has emerged as one of the strongest contestants on the show, has been candid about her personal life. While her competitive spirit on-screen has impressed viewers, it is her relationship that continues to grab attention.
A Love Story That Began in Mumbai
Speaking on the show during a conversation with fellow contestant Prince Narula and others, Krishna shared how her romance with Badakhshi began.
“He is from Afghanistan and is an MMA fighter. He had a fight in Mumbai, and that’s where I first noticed him,” Krishna revealed. She admitted that neither of them had initially thought about entering a relationship, but they gradually developed a strong connection.
According to Krishna, their bond deepened over time. “We met again in Goa. When we were saying goodbye after two weeks, we both ended up crying. That’s when we realized how much we meant to each other,” she said, blushing as fellow contestants teased her.
Love Beyond Borders and Religion
Krishna, who follows Hinduism, and Badakhshi, who is Muslim, have drawn admiration for embracing their relationship beyond religious differences. Friends and fans have praised the couple for focusing on mutual respect and understanding rather than societal barriers.
The couple frequently shares romantic photos and videos on social media, offering glimpses of their life together. Observers have also noted Badakhshi’s warm bond with Krishna’s family, indicating that the relationship has their approval.
Family Support and Public Attention
Sources close to the Shroff family suggest that the family is supportive of Krishna’s choice. Badakhshi has reportedly spent time with Krishna’s family members, strengthening ties and easing public curiosity about the relationship.
Krishna, who has often stayed away from the film industry spotlight, has built her own identity as a fitness entrepreneur and television personality. Her openness about her relationship on a public platform has further endeared her to fans.
Spotlight on ‘The 50’
While The 50 continues to test contestants’ physical and mental strength, Krishna’s personal revelations have added an emotional layer to her on-screen journey. Viewers have responded warmly to her candid discussions about love and vulnerability.
As speculation grows about the couple’s future, fans are eagerly watching for the next chapter in Krishna Shroff’s love story. For now, her relationship with Abdul Azim Badakhshi stands as a testament to love that transcends borders, professions, and religious differences.
