S. Sreesanth was India’s poster boy for controversies. He made news for all the wrong reasons. Sreesanth had the best seam position in the country. His outswinger was famous to get the best of the batsmen out. He is one of those rare Indian cricketers to have been part of two World Cup-winning squads. But Sreesanth became infamously famous for his spot-fixing scandal in 2013. This incident didn’t deter him from playing cricket again. He led a colourful life off the field too and was rumoured to be dating many Bollywood actresses during his reign at the top.
StumpsandBails brings to you 6 Bollywood actresses whom S. Sreesanth had reportedly dated:
#6 Surveen Chawla
S. Sreesanth and Surveen Chawla were one of the more popular pairs who appeared in the famous reality show Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena that aired in 2008.

There were consistent rumours about them being a thing. But post a year the relationship fell through.
#4 Shriya Saran
In 2008, Sreesanth made headlines wherever he went. There were widespread speculations about him dating starlet Shriya Saran. The couple met during a fashion show and later headed to dinner together. This set the tongues wagging. The media reached out to Saran for her comments on this alleged relationship. Saran vehemently denied everything. She quoted, “Sreesanth and I are brand ambassadors for an upmarket product. Yes, we were there at a party together, but I barely spoke to him for five minutes. And, I was just being sweet. I don’t even know him yaar!”
#3 Riya Sen
Riya Sen has often had a thing for Indian cricketers. She was earlier dating star cricketer, Yuvraj Singh. But that relationship went kaput pretty soon. Sen was then linked to Sreesanth. The duo were very close to each other. She was seen cheering for him from the stands in 2011. It was expected that the couple would tie the nuptial knot but they parted ways. Sreesanth’s controversial life was touted to be one of the major reasons for their breakup.
#2 Shazahn Padamsee
Shazahn Padamsee was another one from the Bollywood stable whom Sreesanth had allegedly dated. The couple painted the town red with their appearances. They used to frequently take long drives to South Mumbai. The couple enjoyed each other’s company to the hilt. But Sreesanth denied relationship rumours with Shazahn Padamsee. He stated, “Please stop linking me. I am single and working hard on getting better on my game and I am loving my life.”
#1 Raai Laxmi
Raai Laxmi was a very popular figure down south. She made waves with her bold appearance in the movie, “Julie 2”. Laxmi was earlier linked to MS Dhoni. But if news bytes were to be believed then Sreesanth too was smitten by her. He used to frequent her movie shootings and was seen spending time with her. But he strongly refuted the rumours of them being a couple in love. He quoted, “I happened to visit Lakshmi Rai on the sets of her Kannada film, and before you knew it, the tabloids called us an item. I have grown up in a progressive city like Bangalore, and I’ve always found it easier to get along with girls. But, I am single, very ready to mingle.”
