There have been many players in the Indian team who have broken through religious barriers to find love. Whether it was Zaheer Khan or Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, Indian all-rounder Shivam Dubey has now joined them. Shivam Dubey, who has made headlines for his explosive batting on the cricket field and the historic 2026 T20 World Cup victory, has a love story that’s quite filmy.
Shivam Dube, known as the “Sixer King,” has been a powerful force behind his success, as has his wife, Anjum Khan. Hailing from Uttar Pradesh, Anjum not only won Shivam’s heart but also endeared herself to fans with her style and simplicity.
Anjum Khan studied at AMU.
Anjum Khan is not just a “cricketer’s wife,” but she also has a unique identity of her own. Born on September 2, 1986, in Uttar Pradesh, Anjum graduated in Fine Arts from the renowned Aligarh Muslim University (AMU).
Anjum, who graduated with a degree in Fine Arts, didn’t limit herself to academics. She showcased her talent in a variety of fields to make a name for herself.
Anjum is a model and actress, as well as a voice-over artist. Reports suggest that her voice has resonated in Bollywood films, Hindi serials, and music videos.
A Unique Interfaith Love Story
Shivam and Anjum’s love story is like something straight out of a movie. While couples nowadays flaunt their love on social media, this couple kept their relationship a secret. Remarkably, even after dating for several years, no one knew about their relationship.
When Anjum and Shivam decided to marry in July 2021, they respected both religions. Their wedding was conducted according to both Hindu and Muslim customs. This means that Shivam and Anjum’s Nikah was also performed, and they took seven vows around the fire as witness.
Although, due to this interfaith marriage they had to face online trolling, but this couple proved that their love is stronger than any kind of trolling.
Judging by the photos on Anjum and Shivam’s Instagram accounts, Anjum Khan’s style game is incredibly versatile. She carries off everything from traditional Indian attire to modern outfits with grace.
After the World Cup victory, she appeared on the field in a blue cap and a floral maxi dress, perfectly showcasing her relaxed and girl-next-door vibe. The way she showcased her stylish side in this relaxed outfit is commendable.
For special occasions, Anjum often dons sharara sets or silk suits, which she looks absolutely stunning in. She is often seen wearing minimal makeup and a natural hairstyle, which further enhances her natural beauty.
Shivam and Anjum are living a life of immense happiness and love today. They have two children, a son, Ayaan, and a daughter, Mahvish. From Shivam Dubey’s struggling days to lifting the World Cup trophy today, Anjum has been his biggest cheerleader.
