Ajay Jadeja's secret wedding

Liz Mathew

Flamboyant cricket star Ajay Jadeja recently got married to Aditi Jaitley, the daughter of Samata Party president Jaya Jaitley. According to sources, the couple is currently in London. One of Jadeja's close friends at the ITC golf course in Gurgaon - the cricketer's favorite hangout - told indiainfo.com, "Jadeja confessed that he has married Aditi." He added that Jadeja did not want to go public with the news as yet, as he wanted to make his film debut first.

According to sources, Jadeja has signed a film with Sonali Bendre, for which they were supposed to start shooting this month. The producer, however, wanted to wait a while because of the recent slump in Bollywood and string of box-office disasters. "Jadeja thinks that news of the wedding will affect the publicity for his debut film as well as his own star status," commented the friend. The friend further disclosed, "Jadeja said that if the film does not happen till November, then they will tell the whole world that they are married, at a big party." Both families have earlier denied media reports about the link between the two, insisting that they are "just friends."

Jadeja and Aditi met at the Sardar Patel School in Delhi, where they were classmates. Aditi is a Bharatnatyam dancer with Leela Samson's troupe. Sources told indiainfo.com that Aditi is a regular visitor at Jadeja's new home in Udaya Park. "It is she who has designed and furnished the house," said a friend. Some of Jadeja's other golf partners confirmed that they used to drop him off at Jaitley's house after a game. Sources also said that Jadeja has given his old house at Greater Kailash II to his brother Ajit. Both Aditi and Ajit manage Jadeja's business, "Jadeja Communications."

The One-Day star's golf partner said, "Aditi is very submissive and docile, while Jadeja is very shrewd and secretive. He has told her to keep their marriage a secret." He, however, added that both families have accepted the wedding, and are actually looking forward to announcing the good news. Although news of the wedding has not been confirmed by either family, Mama Jaitley is sure about one thing: Ajay Jadeja is her favorite sportsperson. Nothing official about it.
