Krishna Shroff, the daughter of Jackie Shroff who is a Bollywood legend, has revealed new details about her relationship with Abdul Azim Badakhshi who is an Afghan mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter. The couple’s relationship which includes surprising developments and emotional connections has become popular with both their followers and news outlets.
The couple’s story began in Mumbai, where Krishna first noticed Abdul during an MMA fight. The fight happened between his brother Tiger Shroff and Abdul who fought for a team that Tiger Shroff owns with his brother. Their paths crossed virtually soon after, when Krishna discovered a simple “Hi” from Abdul in her Instagram DMs. She was immediately struck by his boldness, especially when he confidently requested her phone number right away.
Abdul speaks Persian while Krishna speaks English which created potential communication difficulties between them. They connected through video calls which they used to learn about each other during their eight months of remote communication before they finally met face to face in Goa. Their relationship became stronger when they spent time together in Delhi and Goa, which made it possible for Krishna to extend an invitation to Abdul who joined her in Mumbai where they decided to become roommates.
The Afghan Lion, whose actual name is Abdul, has established himself as a reliable companion for Krishna throughout her time on The 50 reality show. Krishna has described their relationship as a “mad journey,” expressing her admiration for Abdul’s “alpha” personality and inner strength.
The first reports about Krishna and Abdul’s engagement in 2023, which became public, have not received confirmation from the couple who remain silent about their marriage plans. The couple maintains their relationship while pursuing their professional goals, which creates a modern romantic story that has touched many people.
