Indian former cricketer who won a Cricket World Cup for India in 1983 is married to Romi Bhatia Dev for over 30 years now and they have a daughter named Amiya Dev. Sunil Bhatia, a friend of Kapil, introduced him to Romi Bhatia and Kapil Dev invited her to watch a cricket match. It was this match in which a cricket batsman scored a century with a six - he was at 94 and hit a sixer. Then, Kapil proposed Romi while travelling on a local train in Bombay. Kapil asked her to take a picture so that she could "show it to our kids." Romi uttered, "What?"
When Kapil told about Romi to his elder brother, he said, "If you have selected a girl for marriage, what's the point of my approval." Then, Kapil & Romi got married in Chandigarh and the newspapers said Romi hooks Kapil.
