“He asked to meet in…”: Actress Kashish Kapoor reveals famous cricketer’s creepy request

Reality TV star and actress Kashish Kapoor, best known for her stint on Bigg Boss 18, has opened up about an unsettling encounter with a well-known cricketer. Speaking in an interview with Filmygyan Viral, she revealed how the player’s overly forward behaviour made her feel “a little creepy,” sparking fresh debate around celebrity interactions and personal boundaries.

A famous cricketer’s creepy request to Kashish Kapoor

According to Kashish, the famous Indian cricketer directly asked her to “meet in person” — a request she firmly declined. Her rejection underscored her stance on maintaining professional respect and safeguarding personal space. The revelation highlights a broader concern: some public figures misusing their celebrity status to overstep boundaries.

“Actually this very famous cricketer. That was a little creepy also. He asked to meet in person. I denied,” she said.

True to her candid nature, Kashish went on to share what actually impresses her in a person. “You are a cricketer at home. To me, you are just a guy — impress me. I wouldn’t be impressed just because of your occupation,” she explained. By dismantling the assumption that fame equals entitlement, she emphasized that genuine respect and connection matter far more than professional accolades.

Kashish drew a clear line between respecting a profession and being personally swayed by it:

“You’re a cricketer, it’s a profession I respect. But you’re not going to bat and bowl with me that I should be impressed.”

Her remarks struck a chord online, reminding fans that admiration in personal relationships should never be reduced to job titles or fame.

The actress has deliberately kept the cricketer’s identity hidden, a choice that has only fuelled curiosity and speculation.
