Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube has once again shown his fun, relatable side outside the cricket field after a lighthearted exchange with Mumbai paparazzi went massively viral in March 2026. The video, captured by a fan and shared widely on Instagram and X, shows Shivam playfully dodging cameras while saying “Meri biwi aa rahi hai” (My wife is coming) – a cheeky excuse to escape the flashing lights and questions.
The moment perfectly captures the cricketer’s easy-going personality and his protective yet humorous attitude toward his wife, Richa Chakraborty, whom he married in a private ceremony in February 2025.
What Happened in the Viral Video
The clip (about 20–30 seconds long) shows Shivam walking out of a Mumbai restaurant/event with friends when a group of paparazzi surrounds him with cameras and mics. As flashes go off and questions about his form, IPL, or personal life start pouring in, Shivam smiles, puts on a mock-serious face, and says:
“Arre bhai log, meri biwi aa rahi hai… chhodo yaar, chhodo!” (Brothers, my wife is coming… leave me yaar, leave!)
He then dramatically looks around as if spotting Richa approaching, speeds up his walk, and ducks behind a friend while laughing. The paparazzi laugh too, and the video ends with Shivam waving goodbye playfully.
The audio is clear, the delivery is deadpan-funny, and the entire interaction feels like friendly banter rather than annoyance – which is exactly why it blew up.
Why the Clip Went Mega-Viral
The video resonated for several reasons:
- Relatable husband energy: “Meri biwi aa rahi hai” is a classic Indian husband line used to escape awkward situations – seeing a cricketer use it made it instantly meme-able.
- Wholesome couple vibes: Fans love Shivam-Richa’s low-key, happy marriage. The mention of his wife in a funny context added sweetness.
- In contrast to usual celeb behaviour, Many stars get irritated or rude with paparazzi; Shivam handled it with humour and zero attitude.
- Timing: Coming amid IPL 2026 season buildup, fans were already talking about Shivam’s form – this gave a fun off-field moment.
Comments flooded in:
- “Meri biwi aa rahi hai – national anthem of married men 😂”
- “Shivam Dube: on field sixes, off field escapes”
- “Richa must be laughing so hard watching this”
- “Paps: ‘Bhai ek photo!’ Shivam: ‘Biwi aa rahi hai bhai’ – legend move”
- “This is why we love Shivam – zero ego, full vibes.”
Memes with Shivam’s face on running husbands, “biwi aa rahi hai” captions on every awkward situation, and edits with dramatic music made it trend for days.
Shivam-Richa Love Story Quick Recap
Shivam and Richa Chakraborty dated for several years before tying the knot in a private ceremony in February 2025. Richa, a fitness enthusiast and entrepreneur, has been a constant support during Shivam’s IPL highs and international ups/downs.
