Dating claim resurfaces as Sofia Hayat reiterates she dated Rohit Sharma

Former India captain Rohit Sharma and British-Indian television personality Sofia Hayat were at the center of renewed dating claims on social media on September 15, 2026, as Sharma prepares to host "Family Full House with Rohit Sharma" on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV from September 19, 2026.

The allegations date back more than a decade to before Sharma had established himself as an international cricketer, and Hayat first publicly addressed the speculation in October 2012 via Twitter. In that post she wrote: "Ok, let’s put the rumours to an end..yes I dated Rohit Sharma.. now it’s over.. I wouldn’t date him again..this time I’m looking for a gentleman." The 2012 tweet was reported by multiple publications, including The Indian Express.

A video posted online in 2026 renewed attention to the matter after Hayat again mentioned her connection to Sharma. The social media clip included the line "I was Rohit Sharma's first and he was horrible in Bed – Sofia Hayat pic.twitter.com/JD5ZO3udIU" and circulated widely, prompting fresh discussion on platforms.

There has not been a documented statement by Rohit Sharma confirming the relationship; the closest public acknowledgment remains Hayat's 2012 post. The article notes that no documents have been presented to substantiate the relationship, and that the claim is publicly acknowledged by Hayat alone. Neither Sharma nor additional corroborating evidence has been recorded in the public domain as cited here.

Sofia Hayat is described in the report as a British-Indian actress, singer, model and television personality who gained widespread fame in India after appearing on the reality show Bigg Boss 7. The piece reiterates that she first claimed she dated Rohit Sharma in 2012 and has referenced the connection on multiple occasions since.

Until Rohit Sharma issues a statement or documentary evidence is produced, the account remains a claim publicly asserted by Hayat. Sharma's television hosting debut for "Family Full House with Rohit Sharma" is scheduled to air on Sony Entertainment Television and SonyLIV on September 19, 2026.
