An elderly woman found at Mumbai's Belapur Metro station claims to be late cricketer Salim Durani's wife, sparking social media controversy. Identified as Rekha Srivastava, she alleges living luxuriously in Dubai, running an airline company, and owning bungalows before financial ruin. She recalls Durani playing cricket nationwide and meeting prominent personalities. However, Durani's biographies don't mention marriage to Srivastava or Dubai business ventures. Social media reports suggest the woman has been spotted in Vrindavan, Varanasi, and other northern religious cities. Durani's family hasn't issued any statement regarding these claims. The legendary all-rounder, India's first Arjuna Award recipient, died in 2023 aged 88 after scoring 1,202 runs and taking 75 wickets across 29 Tests.
