Team India’s World Cup-winning captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, has been in the spotlight not only for leading India to a historic triumph but also for her close bond with Nupur Kashyap. Their long-standing friendship has become a topic of discussion online, with fans speculating about the nature of their relationship and called Harmanpreet Kaur s 'Lesbian'.
The conversation intensified after Harmanpreet’s recent Instagram post wishing Nupur a happy birthday.
In her post, Harmanpreet shared a heartfelt message with a picture of the two holding the Women’s World Cup trophy. She wrote, “The best birthday gift you could have ever asked for! 16 years of manifestation and now it’s here. Happy birthday best friend.”
Nupur Kashyap has been an important part of Harmanpreet’s journey for years. She previously worked as a talent manager for several Indian women cricketers, including Harmanpreet Kaur and Smriti Mandhana. Later, she founded her own company, Repeat7, which is a fitness and athlete management firm. Before that, she was associated with Cornerstone Sports and Entertainment, one of India’s leading sports management agencies.
As India celebrates its maiden Women’s World Cup victory, Harmanpreet’s friendship with Nupur continues to attract public attention. Social media users have been revisiting past posts and photos of the two, fueling discussions about their personal bond.
The Indian captain’s birthday post for Nupur soon went viral, with several fans pointing out their deep connection. Some claimed that the two have been together since before 2008 and even live together now. A social media user wrote, “She is her best friend, also her girlfriend. They are partners. 2023 birthday post, she wrote Happy Birthday, my whole world for Nupoor. After four hours, she removed it. Because people criticized her. That’s why now she wrote only the best friend word. Her real fans know about it better. Being gay is not a shameful thing. She has stayed with her (Harman) since before 2008. Now, they are living together.”
Several past pictures of Harmanpreet and Nupur resurfaced on social media, especially on X (formerly Twitter). The posts showcased their closeness and triggered mixed reactions. Some fans celebrated their bond, while others criticized the speculation surrounding their personal lives.
One post defending Harmanpreet stated, “If Harmanpreet is a lesbian, what's the problem with that? Harmanpreet Kaur and Nupur Kashyap posted a picture together with the trophy, and some people started teasing her by calling her a lesbian. I don’t understand why people have a problem with her being happy in her own…”
Despite the attention, Harmanpreet Kaur has not commented publicly about her relationship with Nupur or anyone else. She continues to focus on her cricketing career, having recently led India to its first-ever Women’s World Cup title — a milestone that placed her alongside legends like Kapil Dev, MS Dhoni, and Rohit Sharma.
While the social media chatter grows, fans hope that the spotlight remains on her achievements — both on and off the field. Harmanpreet’s leadership, discipline, and humility continue to inspire millions of young athletes across India.
