Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleAbhishek Sharma is once again making headlines. The cricketer claimed his second victory in this season's Sher-e-Punjab T20, while playing for Amritsar Soormas. The team defeated Fazilka Falcons and lifted the trophy with a four-wicket win. They successfully chased a target of 192 with three balls to spare.
The Sher-e-Punjab finale featured a notable contest between Indian teammates Shubman Gill and Abhishek Sharma, who captained Fazilka and Amritsar, respectively. The victory has once again brought the limelight to Abhishek's personal life, including his rumoured romance with Laila Faisal.
Laila Hamid Faisal became well known after she was linked to Indian cricketer Abhishek Sharma. However, before that, she was an established name in the business circle. She hails from Delhi and comes from a prominent Kashmiri Muslim family. She completed her schooling at Delhi Public School, RK Puram, before earning a psychology degree from King's College London.
Laila Faisal further refined her expertise with fashion design, marketing, and styling courses at the University of the Arts London. She grew up surrounded by creative and entrepreneurial influences. In London, she honed her fashion credentials, and she served in leadership roles in her college's fashion society. Not only that, Laila also interned at global fashion events such as Malan Breton and Rocky Star, as reported by Star Sun Folded.
She returned to India soon after and began her journey as the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of her father's firm, Sound of Music Luxury. While she helped with her father's brand, Laila Faisal also wanted to build a legacy of her own. This led her to launch her own high-end label, Laila Roohi Faisal Designs, with her mother in 2022.
Rumours around Laila Faisal and Abhishek Sharma first emerged in early 2025. The alleged couple was spotted together at events and was often seen in pictures on Instagram. The buzz intensified when Laila reposted Abhishek's 135-run knock against England with the simple caption "Proud," fuelling romance speculation.
However, despite the buzz, neither Abhishek Sharma nor Laila Faisal confirmed or denied the rumours. Regardless, eagle-eyed fans have noted they follow each other. While Laila made her Instagram account private soon after interest spiked, she now has a public account with over 103K followers.
Laila Faisal further fueled this buzz when she was seen extending her support and cheering for Abhishek Sharma live during matches. She was often seen alongside his sister Komal, reinforcing her role in his inner circle. Fans had also seen Laila in the stands during several Sunrisers Hyderabad games, accompanied by Komal, showing a warm bond between the two.
While Abhishek Sharma and Laila Faisal's personal relationship remains unconfirmed, her public actions hint at genuine encouragement and connection. With Abhishek lifting the Sher-e-Punjab cup, the limelight has once again brought Laila into the spotlight. However, there have also been speculations about their split.
According to reports, in mid-March 2026, fans noticed that Abhishek Sharma has unfollowed Laila Faisal on Instagram. However, fans reacted mixed to the buzz, with some users suggesting the unfollow happened because of alleged clout-chasing or misuse of his name via AI content. Meanwhile, others believed it was temporary drama or a calculated move. Nonetheless, whether they were or are together remains a mystery, as neither has addressed the matter.
