Cheteshwar Pujara’s wife reveals honest first impressions before marriage
In a candid conversation with Grace Hayden for ESPNCricinfo, Puja shared that when the idea of marrying Pujara first came up, she had no idea who he was. Since it was an arranged setup, she assumed he wasn’t truly interested and believed it might have been his family pushing for the match. At the time, he was busy with his cricket commitments and couldn’t meet her initially, so Puja ended up meeting his father first. She admitted she had built a theory in her mind that he was not serious about it and was simply going along with his family’s wishes.
“I didn’t know who Cheteshwar was, and it’s an arranged marriage that we had. Right, so I had a whole theory in my mind that he’s not interested or joking about it. His parents are just maybe wanting to kind of get him married. And, I was like, okay, fine. So, I didn’t end up meeting him. I met my father-in-law first because he was traveling for matches. I had a whole theory in my head this guy doesn’t care about it and it’s just his family putting pressure or so let me get done with it,” Puja stated.

However, Puja further added that when she finally met Pujara, all her earlier doubts disappeared completely. From their very first conversation, things felt natural, open, and friendly—like talking to an old friend. The connection was spontaneous and genuine, and that’s where their journey truly began. While it wasn’t exactly love at first sight, it felt instantly right.
“And when we met the theory was completely like you know was just like the whole glass toppled over. And from the very first moment that we met like conversations, it was so candid, honest with no assumptions and agenda. We were like two good friends. It was so spontaneous and that’s where everything began,” she further added.
