Sreesanth was banned by the Board of Contol for Cricket in India (BCCI) for a lifetime in August 2013 along with his Rajasthan Royals teammates Ajit Chandila and Ankeet Chavan for indulging in alleged spot-fixing in the Indian Premier League (IPL) that year. However, his lifetime ban was reduced to seven years in 2019, which got completed in September 2020. The controversial cricketer had a starry career and was linked with many female celebs during her playing days.

The Indian reality dance series, Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena played the Cupid for Surveen and Sreesanth. They became good friends during the show, and their bond churned the rumour mills of romance that was brewing between the two. With Sreesanth’s involvement in the spot-fixing scandal, Surveen was very sad and disappointed.

Riya met Sreesanth at one of the splashy Page 3 parties and the duo were inseparable, post that. In some of the matches of Sreesanth in the year 2011, Riya was spotted in the VIP stands. At a given point of time, the grapevine even suggested that Riya and Sreesanth are ready to enter the holy bond of matrimony, but well, it happened otherwise. Riya and Sreesanth dated for a year, but she later distanced herself from him after he was mired into a series of controversies.

Raai Laxmi, who predominantly works in Tamil and Malayalam as well as Telugu and Kannada films and has made her Bollywood debut with the 2017 film, Julie 2, was also rumoured to be in a relationship with Sreesanth. But Sreesanth went into denial with this link-up as well. He was quoted as saying:

Sreesanth was also linked to actress Minisha Lamba.

Sreesanth and Shriya did a fashion show together in Mumbai, post which they were spotted on a dinner date and left in the car together. Soon the rumours about their affair started doing the rounds. But Shriya denied the rumours of her being in love with Sreesanth.
