A viral Instagram Reel has sparked widespread curiosity and debate after a homeless elderly woman claimed to be the wife of late Indian cricketer Salin Durani. The woman who identifies herself as Rekha Srivastava in the video made the unexpected assertion on camera, quickly drawing attention due to Durani’s iconic status and largely private personal life.
Though it remains unverified whether the woman in the viral clip is the same person, the internet is sharply divided between sympathy, skepticism, and calls for verification.
