Salim Durani's ex-wife Rekha found begging in Mumbai! (social media)
Digital Desk, New Delhi. The name of legendary Indian cricket player Salim Durani is once again in the headlines. Durani died in 2023. A video of a woman is being circulated on the internet media, in which the woman is calling herself his wife. The woman has been identified as Rekha Srivastava, who was recently found begging on the streets of Belapur.
This video has created curiosity among the common people of Mumbai and the cricket world. Although Durani played Ranji Trophy cricket for Rajasthan, he lived in Mumbai. To find out the truth of the woman's claim, NGO Help Drive Foundation has traced Rekha Srivastava's daughter. The daughter confirmed that the woman is Durani's ex-wife. Documentary evidence is being collected from the woman's daughter.
The organization said that Rekha's daughter has seen her mother after 40 years through the footage. Rekha is living in a shelter home in Navi Mumbai. After the video surfaced, former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja has contacted the organization and offered help. The organization is now collecting evidence from Rekha's daughter and relatives to confirm her relationship with the late cricketer.
When Mid-Day contacted Durani's friends, they revealed that Rekha was actually his first wife. However, he said that they are not sure whether the woman seen in the video being circulated is the same one or not, as Rekha is now 84 years old and most people last met her around 40-50 years ago.
