Deepak Chahar is a name that commands attention in Indian cricket, and while fans are well aware of his on-field achievements, not everyone knows about the equally impressive woman who stands beside him—his wife, Jaya Bhardwaj. With a striking presence, remarkable professional journey, and a deep-rooted bond with Deepak, Jaya has captured the admiration of fans and netizens alike.
Born on September 5, 1992, in Delhi, Jaya was always inclined toward communication and media. She pursued her schooling at the prestigious Modern School in Vasant Vihar and later earned a Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication and Media Studies from the University of Mumbai in 2013. Her professional journey reflects both versatility and ambition. Starting as an Accounts Executive at Star TV Network, Jaya steadily climbed the ladder with positions at BBC, Universal Music Group, HOOQ, and Airtel. Today, she balances a full-time corporate role while also co-founding a fantasy-sports startup, Trade Fantasy Game, with her husband—blending her entrepreneurial drive with her love for sports.
She also carries a slice of pop culture history—Jaya is the sister of Sidharth Bhardwaj, the winner of MTV Splitsvilla Season 2, adding a touch of reality TV fame to the family. But what truly makes Jaya’s story enchanting is her love story with Deepak Chahar. Introduced by Deepak’s sister, Malti, the two connected quickly and soon found themselves in a heartfelt relationship. Their story took a fairy-tale turn when Deepak proposed to Jaya in one of the most public and romantic gestures seen in Indian cricket. Following a CSK vs PBKS match in Dubai during IPL 2021, Deepak got down on one knee in the stands and proposed—an unforgettable moment that took the internet by storm.
They tied the knot on June 1, 2022, in Agra, surrounded by loved ones and fans who had cheered for them from afar. Today, Jaya’s estimated net worth stands at around Rs 3–4 crore, owing to her thriving career and ventures. Her journey from media executive to entrepreneur, and her poised presence in the limelight as Deepak’s partner, showcases her as a woman of quiet strength and grace—someone who is truly writing her own story while supporting her husband in his.
