Last week, a picture featuring Asha Bhosle’s granddaughter, Zanai Bhosle, alongside cricketer Mohammed Siraj, sent social media into a frenzy. The image, taken at Zanai’s 23rd birthday party, showed the duo sharing a lighthearted moment, which quickly led to rumours suggesting the two were romantically involved.
The photo, which depicted Zanai and Siraj laughing together, immediately garnered attention from fans, sparking a wave of speculation about their relationship. Many took to social media to express their curiosity, with one fan joking, “Are you going to marry Siraj bhaijaan Zanai Bhosle?” Another user commented, “Yahi hai kya bhabhi ji?” along with several heart-eye emojis, fueling the gossip even further.
However, both Zanai and Siraj took swift action to put an end to the rumours. In a joint effort to clear the air, both individuals shared posts on their respective Instagram stories, emphasizing their close friendship and sibling-like bond. Zanai referred to Siraj as “Mere Pyaare Bhai” (My sweet brother), while Siraj posted a heartfelt message, calling her, “Meri behen ke jaisi koi behna nahin. Bina iske kahin bhi mujhe rehna nahin. Jaise hai chaand sitaaron mein, meri behna hai ek hazaaro mein,” which translates to, “No one is like my sister. I don’t want to live without her. Just like the moon and stars, my sister is one of a kind.”

The picture that sparked the dating rumours was just one of many shared by Zanai from her birthday celebration at a Mumbai restaurant, where a host of celebrities and cricketers were in attendance. While her photograph with Siraj caught the most attention, Zanai also posted pictures with other notable personalities, including her grandmother, legendary singer Asha Bhosle, actor Jackie Shroff, and cricketer Shreyas Iyer, among others.
Professionally, Zanai is following in her grandmother’s footsteps and has already made a name for herself in the music industry. She is a singer, primarily known for her appearances in various music videos. Her latest track, Kehndi Hai, continues to capture the attention of her growing fanbase.
With the rumours now put to rest, Zanai and Siraj’s fans can rest assured that their relationship remains purely platonic.
