Meet Karishma Kotak
Kingfisher Calendar Model turned Cricket host
Although the South Africa Champions were in celebration mood following their emphatic victory over Pakistan Champions in the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 final played at Edgbaston, one moment off the pitch stole the thunder from even AB de Villiers’ spectacular 120-run knock — a live on-air proposal that no one saw coming.
It was none other than the British model, TV presenter, and cricket anchor Karishma Kotak who found herself in the spotlight for reasons beyond her crisp commentary and vibrant hosting style.
As per WCL owner Harshit Tomar, amidst a post-match interaction, cheekily turned a professional moment into a personal surprise by proposing to Kotak on camera,
a gesture that instantly went viral and sent fans into a frenzy.
In the clip now in cit-circulation, Karishma is spotted asking Tomar over his plans to celebrate the WCL victory. In a bold and unexpected response Tomar says he would wish to get married to the anchor that left Karishma visibly stunned and
dumb-founded The internet has since been buzzing, dissecting the age difference, speculating on their equation, and joking over the spontaneity of the proposal.
There was a comment by a user on social media that read “Relax guys. She is 18 years older than him, probably it is just a compliment to a 43-year-old single aunt with some back story amid them. Aunty may be stalking the young lad off the field.”
Notwithstanding the mixed reactions, the moment has undeniably brought Karishma Kotak back into the limelight.
Little known facts on Karishma Kotak:
London born, she is isn’t a stranger to fame. She forayed into modelling career when at 16 and steadily carved a niche for herself in both the fashion and entertainment industries. Her big break came when she got featured in the 2006 Kingfisher Calendar, a stepping stone that launched many successful careers in the modelling world.
Over the years, Karishma worked with premium brands including Dove, Tanishq, Pond’s, Titan, and Wella Hair Colour, among others. Besides her modelling prowess, Karishma won nationwide recognition following her appearance on Bigg Boss Season 6 and later as a host on Extraaa Innings in the midst of IPL 6.
In 2016, she ventured into regional cinema with the Punjabi film Kaptaan.
For Karishma Kotak, her cherished journey wasn’t planned, but,
fully embraced.
In one of her media interaction, an earlier Karishma replicated on her unconventional entry into sports presenting. She shared that “Mandira [Bedi] truly paved the way, and she has immense respect for what she brought to the space.
She had no plans whatsoever to be a sports presenter, it just sort of found her. But she thinks when passion meets preparation, the universe aligns.
This “alignment of the universe” perhaps extended beyond the cricket field at Edgbaston, as fans now speculate on the equation between her and Tomar, whose estimated net worth reportedly crosses
₹15 crore.
While she hasn’t responded publicly to the proposal beyond her initial stunned reaction, Karishma Kotak persists to win fans not only for her glamorous presence but also for the grace and spontaneity she highlighted amidst an unexpected moment in a high-pressure setting.
