Shivam Dubey recently grabbed the attention of fans on social media after a funny interaction with the paparazzi outside his Mumbai residence went viral. The brief moment offered a glimpse of the Indian all-rounder’s relaxed and playful side away from the cricket field.The incident took place outside Dubey’s upscale apartment complex in Andheri West, a building that houses several personalities from the sports and entertainment industries. In the viral clip, the cricketer is seen talking on the phone near the reception area when a paparazzo approaches him with a camera. Although a bit taken aback at first, Dobe acknowledged the photographer and politely greeted him.In the video, Dubey, dressed in a maroon kurta, looks surprised as the paparazzo enthusiastically greets him. “Bhai aap dekh liya hum log (Brother, we have already seen you),” the man is heard saying in the video before asking the cricketer what he is doing.“Badiya bhai (I have been very good)”, Dubey replies with a thumbs-up, to which the man says, “Hamara desh ka naam roshan kardea aap (You have exalted our nation)”.The moment becomes even more hilarious when the all-rounder realizes that he is being filmed and jokes, “Bhai delete it now”.After India’s victory in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, Dubey’s popularity has grown significantly. The all-rounder played a pivotal role throughout the tournament and emerged as one of the unsung heroes of the title-winning campaign.Having already contributed to India’s successful run in 2024, Dube steps up again in 2026 with an even bigger impact. In eight innings, he scored 235 runs at a strike rate of 169.06, made important cameos in several matches and provided consistent pace when it mattered most.
