Ravindra Jadeja’s dad, Anirudhsinh Jadeja, reports that his bond with his son underwent a huge shift after the Team India player married Rivaba.
Anirudhsing accused Rivaba of causing family tension. He shared with Divya Bhaskar how he can’t see his son, even though they live in the same town:
“Do you want me to tell you one truth? I have absolutely no relation with Ravindra nand his wife, Rivaba. We don’t call them, and they don’t call us. The issues started after two or three months of their marriage. I currently live alone in Jamnagar, while Ravindra resides in a separate bungalow of his own. He lives in the same city, but I don’t get to see him. I don’t know what magic his wife has done on him.”

Anirudhsinh admitted that he regretted making Ravindra Jadeja a cricketer. He went on to say that if he hadn’t gotten his son married to Rivaba, their family would be considerably better off.
“He is my son, and it burns my heart. I wish I hadn’t gotten him married. It would have been better if he hadn’t become a cricketer. We would not have to go through all this in that case.”

Anirudhsinh accused Rivaba of seizing all of Ravindra Jadeja’s wealth and property:
“Within three months of the marriage, she told me that everything should be transferred to her name. She created a rift in our family. She didn’t want the family and desired an independent life. I could be wrong, and Naynaba (Ravindra’s sister) could be wrong, but you tell me, how can all 50 members of our family be wrong? There’s no relation with anyone in the family; there’s just hate.”

The famous cricketer’s father also said that Ravindra Jadeja’s in-laws were only pursuing his money. Anirudhsinh said that he hadn’t seen his granddaughter’s face in several years.
“I don’t want to hide anything. We haven’t even seen the face of our granddaughter in five years. Ravindra’s in-laws manage everything. They interfere in everything. They are making merry now because they have got a bank.”

Ravindra Jadeja and Rivaba were engaged on February 5, 2016, at a restaurant operated by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder. They got married the same year, on April 17.

In 2022, Rivaba Jadeja ran in the Gujarat Assembly Elections. She campaigned for the BJP, going for a seat in Jamnagar (north). Meanwhile, Naynaba, who is an Indian cricketer’s sibling, had ties with the Congress party.
Naynaba had made disparaging statements about her sister-in-law, criticizing her for enlisting the support of youngsters in her campaign. However, she had stated that the election would not alter her feelings for her brother.
Rivaba secured victory in her first ever electoral run. By tallying 88,835 votes, she obtained 57.9 percent of all ballots cast in her district.
