Shubman Gill and Sachin Tendulkar both celebrated Raksha Bandhan with their siblings. The festival brought out some fun and heartfelt moments from the cricket world.
Shubman Gill’s sister Shahneel kept her Rakhi post short and playful. She shared a picture on Instagram with the caption “Annual subscription renewed”. The light-hearted post came a day after India wrapped up their Sri Lanka tour with a 1-0 series win. The two Gill siblings share a close bond, and her post was a fun way to mark the occasion.
Sachin Tendulkar also shared a warm message for his sister. He posted a heartfelt note on Instagram reflecting on the years they have spent together. He wrote, “Happy Rakhi, Tai. We’ve shared so many years, so many memories, and, I’m sure, plenty of stories you’ll never let me forget. Lucky to have you always.”
Who is Shubman Gill’ Sister, Shahneel Gill?
Shahneel Gill is the elder sister of Indian cricketer Shubman Gill. She was born on December 16, 1997 in Fazilka, Punjab. She completed her schooling in Mohali before pursuing higher education in Chandigarh. She later moved to Canada for further studies. She enrolled at Red River College Polytechnic in Winnipeg. She studied Business Administration and completed her diploma in 2019.
Her professional career was also based in Canada. According to reports, she worked with the Canadian food-delivery company SkipTheDishes. She started as a customer service representative and later moved into the role of Success Consultant. For years, her life revolved around corporate work rather than the public eye. She was not known to the wider cricket audience.
That changed when she appeared on The Traitors Season 2. The reality show brought her into the spotlight. She was one of the secret Traitors on the show. She made alliances, took decisions, and played a strategic game. Her performance drew praise from fellow contestants. She was called a “boss woman” and even the best Traitor in the history of the show. Her run ended after a key exchange during the Circle of Shaq.
For Indian cricket fans, Shahneel has always been associated with her younger brother. Their parents are Lakhwinder Singh Gill and Keart Gill. The family moved to Mohali when Shubman was young so he could get better access to cricket training. By the time he gained attention at the 2018 Under-19 World Cup, Shahneel was already in Canada. She followed his progress from there. She has regularly been seen at his matches, supporting him from the stands.
Shahneel Gill: The Real Story Behind the Fan-Favorite Traitor
Shahneel Gill entered The Traitors 2 as Shubman Gill’s sister, but she left the show as one of its biggest talking points. She arrived with little expectation around her and turned that into an advantage over the course of the game. Her journey covered almost every major turn in the format.
She started the show as an Innocent. The original Traitors chose to recruit her, and she accepted. The decision worked in her favor because the other contestants had little reason to suspect her. She benefited from being underestimated. Because she was not as loud or visibly strategic as others, she was able to work from behind the scenes. She also built stronger bonds with contestants like Rida Tharana.
One of her standout moments came in Episode 4. The Traitors had to nominate four people for a “Game of Death”. The names had to be written during a secret task. After two other Traitors backed out, Shahneel carried out the task on her own. She moved through the billiards room and wrote the names without being noticed. Even after others were identified as Traitors, Shahneel managed to stay under the radar. Until Episode 7, no one suspected that she was a Traitor.
Her run ended after detective Tanya Puri raised questions over Shahneel’s version during the Circle of Shaq. Tanya asked both Shahneel and another contestant about the contents of letters they had received that morning. While the other contestant recalled her letter immediately, Shahneel said she did not remember everything by heart. That reply triggered suspicion among the contestants. Many said they remembered their letters clearly. Shahneel defended herself by saying she simply had a bad memory. But the explanation did not persuade the group, and she was voted out.
Despite her elimination, Shahneel was praised by fellow contestants. Rhea called her a “boss woman”. Mallika Sherawat told her she was the best Traitor in the history of Traitors. As she left the show, Shahneel said she had a lot of fun and did not know she would take back such good friendships with her. She called herself the most innocent Traitor.
