Indian cricketer Varun Chakravarthy excels on the cricket field, but his wife Neha Khedekar holds a special place in his heart. Their love story began in college and grew stronger over time, with Neha providing unwavering support when no one else did.
Varun was born in Bidar, Karnataka. He completed his schooling at Kendriya Vidyalaya CLRI and St. Patrick's Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School. Later, he enrolled at SRM University, where he pursued a bachelor's degree in architecture.
During his time at SRM University, Varun met Neha Khedekar. Their friendship soon blossomed into love, and they started dating. Despite Varun’s early passion for cricket, he focused on academics and began working as an architect after graduation.
Although he had a stable and well-paying job, Varun never gave up on his dream to play cricket professionally. He confided only in Neha about his ambitions. When he thought about quitting his secure job to pursue cricket, Neha became his biggest pillar of strength.
“I told my wife not to trust me and come with me since I didn’t even have a job. She gave me confidence and said, ‘Play cricket, earn 5-6K, I make 50K, we’ll manage.’”
Neha’s encouragement kept Varun motivated during uncertain times, reassuring him that they would manage despite financial challenges.
Varun Chakravarthy’s journey highlights how love and support from Neha Khedekar became the foundation for his pursuit of a cricketing career despite early doubts and challenges.
