We all go gaga over listening to the stories of our favorite celebrities, be it cricketers or actors, it remains the same. A love triangle is something which can disturb the lives of the people involved in this triangle. You will be amazed to know that some of our favorite cricketers were also involved in love triangle.

The story of Dinesh Karthik and Nikita dates back to 2007. Back in that year, the 21-year old Dinesh married his childhood friend Nikita Vanjara. The marriage was held in Mumbai. Nikita’s father and Dinesh’s father were friends for a long time and the kids grew fond of each other as they got older. Both the families decided to turn friendship into a relationship and the youngsters were very eager too. However, things went south after 5 years when Nikita started seeing Murali Vijay, Dinesh Karthik’s Tamil Nadu teammate and also the current Indian test team’s opening batsman.

If rumors are to be believed, the incident that led to the break up of Karthik’s first marriage occurred during a Vijay Hazare trophy match in 2012. This was just before a crucial Ranji trophy match between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Dinesh Karthik came to know about his wife’s affair with Murali Vijay.

Dinesh Karthik divorced his wife Nikita Vanjara when she was pregnant with Murali Vijay’s child in 2012. The duo swiftly handled the matter and did not attract public attention at that time. Nikita then went on to marry Murali Vijay, with whom she has three children.

Dinesh Karthik met his second wife, Dipika Pallikal, a famous squash player for India, in 2015. The lovebirds were taking fitness lessons from the same coach. Dipika Pallikal used to hate cricketers. She thought giving too much spotlight to the cricketers was why other sports were ignored in India.
