Mumbai, April 20: After the speculation of cricketer S Sreesanth romancing with Bong beauty Riya Sen which were politly denied by him, the buzz is that the dashing cricketer will soon enter into an arrenged wedlock.
“I am not seeing Riya Sen. There is no romance between us. We have hung around together and I enjoy her company, but only as a friend,” says Sreesanth, who didn’t have an impressive bowling figure at the World Cup finals.
The fast bowler, revealing his family’s plans said that his family is searching for a bride for him to get married. “I’ve had enough of gossip about me — be it in Bollywood or Kollywood. My family is of the opinion that I should get married now and they are looking for a match for me,” says Sree (as he’s known among his friends).
Sreesanth admits he has agreed to an arranged marriage after much thought.
“You know how conservative South Indian families are. They don’t want me to wait too long and stay single. My parents keep pressurising me about marriage, so I thought that it’s best to just give in than fight it,” he says.
But isn’t it very unromantic for a flamboyant character like him get married to somebody he doesn’t know?
“Who says that I can’t be romantic with the girl?But right now, I want to concentrate on my game. Now that we have won the World Cup, the onus is on us to keep up the standard. So I don’t really think hard about how parents are going about my marriage right now,” he ends.
