Indian fast bowler Deepak Chahar has always been known for his swing bowling and fighting spirit on the field, but this time, it was his honesty and humour off the field that caught attention.
Deepak Chahar’s candid confession wins over fans
The fast bowler recently shared an apologetic yet light-hearted post for his wife, Jaya Bharadwaj, after forgetting her birthday.
The right-arm pacer admitted that the oversight was due to sheer exhaustion following a long day of cricketing duties in the Duleep Trophy, where he reportedly bowled across 90 overs of fielding. His candid admission showcased the demanding schedules professional cricketers endure, often leaving little time for personal commitments.
Chahar took to Instagram to issue what fans are calling one of the most endearing birthday messages in recent memory. He wrote:
“Happy birthday love @jayab05. I would like to tell everybody how understanding and loving my wife is, as I forgot her birthday but still she forgave me, as she understood this can happen after 90 overs of fielding. Next time I will remember. @jayab05 #happybirthday #wife.”
The post struck a balance between apology and admiration. While Chahar expressed regret for missing such an important occasion, he also highlighted Jaya’s patience and support, qualities that endeared her further to fans.
Not stopping at the post, Chahar shared a video of himself and Jaya cutting a belated birthday cake, captioned: “Finally cake cut, we can sleep peacefully.”
To add another humorous twist, Chahar reshared his post on his Instagram story with the cheeky warning: “Don’t try this at home,” playfully advising fans not to risk forgetting anniversaries or birthdays.

Deepak Chahar and Jaya Bharadwaj’s love story
This isn’t the first time Chahar and Jaya’s relationship has captured public imagination. Their love story is famously rooted in cricket, with Chahar proposing to Jaya during an IPL 2021 match while representing Chennai Super Kings (CSK). The memorable moment saw Chahar walking into the stands after a game to pop the question in front of fans, a gesture that went viral instantly.
The proposal was celebrated not just by the crowd but also by cricketing personalities, including Sakshi Singh Rawat, wife of former CSK captain MS Dhoni, who was present at the stadium. Since then, the couple has continued to be a favourite among cricket fans for their openness and charm.
