Sagarika Ghatge's career did not take off after 'Chak De! India' (2007), but because of her alleged affair with cricketer Zaheer Khan she's back in the news.

Sagarika belongs to the royal family of Kagal and is related to other Maratha royal families, including those of Indore and Kolhapur.

Sita Raje Ghatge is Sagarika's grandmom, who is the daughter of Maharaja Tukojirao Holkar III of Indore.
