Relationships/affairs
Sunil Chhetri
Sonam Bhattacharya dated Sunil Chhetri for almost 13 years. In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Sunil Chhetri spoke about his relationship with Sonam Bhattacharya. Sonam’s father, Subrata Bhattacharya, happened to be Chhetri’s coach and often mentioned Chhetri at home. When Sonam was 15, she took Chhetri’s contact number from her father’s phone and sent him a text expressing her admiration and desire to meet him. Although Chhetri first thought it was a child when they first met, they continued to text each other for about two months.

An unexpected twist occurred when Chhetri was fixing Subrata Bhattacharya’s phone and the number rang. He realized it was Sonam and learned that she was his coach’s daughter. Sunil and Sona decided to end their relationship to avoid complications with their father, who was also Chhetri’s coach. Chhetri couldn’t stop thinking about Sonam and moved towards her again. They kept their relationship private and met twice a year because of Chhetri’s frequent travels. To watch movies together, Chhetri would buy two tickets, leave one at the counter and Sonam would collect it later to join them in the theater. Chhetri visited Sonam’s house and expressed her feelings to her father. Subrata Bhattacharya, after hearing Chhetri’s confession, gave his consent for their marriage and the duo got married a few months later.
