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.
The 50-year-old, who is currently riding high on the success of the film "Fan", has labelled Karmakar as the "pride of the nation" and added that her acheivements inspire him.
Actor Emraan Hashmi, who features in another cricket-based film "Azhar" after "Jannat", says he doesn't know why he always gets films with the controversial match-fixing angle.
