Mumbai: Team India's newly-engaged batsman Rohit Sharma has taken his fiancee Ritika Sajdeh to holidays in UAE and USA.
Both were spotted by an immigration officer at Mumbai's Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport on Thursday.
Speaking exclusively from the airport on Thursday, he said, "The duo filled the immigration cards and left for Dubai by Emirates flight in the afternoon. They will spend two days in Dubai and after finishing their shopping they are scheduled to leave for New York."
