However, the discussion quickly took a controversial turn when Hayat brought up Rohit Sharma.
While acknowledging the Indian captain as one of the greatest cricketers in the world, Hayat proceeded to make unverified personal comments regarding their alleged intimate relationship.
The clip circulated rapidly across X and Instagram, drawing sharp condemnation from social media users who viewed the remarks as unwarranted and disrespectful.
A History of One-Sided Assertions
This is not the first instance in which Sofia Hayat has linked her name to the Indian cricket stalwart. Back in 2012, Hayat took to social media, claiming that she had dated Rohit Sharma for a brief period before mutually deciding to part ways.
Years later, in 2019, Hayat gave media interviews alleging that she first met Rohit at a club in London.
She claimed that their association ended after Rohit reportedly introduced her merely as a fan to acquaintances and media personnel, following which Rohit began seeing his sports manager Ritika Sajdeh, whom he eventually married in December 2015.
Throughout the last decade, Rohit Sharma has maintained complete silence, never once acknowledging, verifying, or responding to any assertions made by Hayat.
Cricket Fans Slam Inappropriate Publicity Bid
The resurfacing of these claims has provoked harsh backlash from cricket followers who view the statements as a desperate attempt to capture digital attention.
Rohit Sharma remains celebrated across India as an accomplished leader who guided the nation to historic ICC silverware while maintaining an unblemished personal reputation.
Supporters took to digital forums in droves to defend the Indian captain, criticizing the podcast format for giving space to private and unsubstantiated gossip.
With Rohit preparing for upcoming international assignments, fans have urged the digital community to dismiss the viral video as mere sensationalism.
