Mumbai: Bollywood actress Neha Sharma has always been a favourite of the paparazzi, but her recent public appearance with a mystery man sent the internet into a frenzy. Curious fans and social media sleuths quickly identified the man as none other than Petar Sliskovic, a Croatian-born professional footballer with a rich international career.
Sliskovic, who currently plays as a striker for Mohammedan SC in Kolkata, has a fascinating footballing journey that spans multiple clubs and countries. Born on 21 February 1991 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sliskovic later moved to Croatia and rose through the ranks at FSV Frankfurt’s youth academy in Germany. He made his professional debut with Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga in January 2011 and has since played for clubs across Germany, Switzerland, and India.
A per the statistics provided by Eurosport, Sliskovic has played for KF Gostivari, Chennaiyin FC, SV Wehen Wiesbaden, Türkgücü München, MSV Duisburg, VfR Aalen, FC Viktoria 1889 Berlin, Hallescher FC, Stuttgarter Kickers, FC Aarau, FSV Mainz 05 II, Dynamo Dresden, FC St. Pauli, FSV Mainz 05 since 2010.
In the Indian Super League (ISL), Sliskovic made his mark with Chennaiyin FC in the 2022 season, impressing fans with his scoring prowess. The following year, he moved to Jamshedpur FC before transitioning to Mohammedan SC. His adaptability and goal-scoring skills have earned him a reputation as a reliable striker.
Neha Sharma’s surprise appearance alongside Sliskovic has sparked rumours about their relationship, but neither has confirmed or denied any romantic involvement. Fans, however, have wasted no time speculating, with social media platforms abuzz with questions about how the Bollywood star and the footballer crossed paths.
Interestingly, Sliskovic’s footballing career is as varied as it is impressive. After his early years with Mainz 05, he was loaned out to clubs like St. Pauli and Dynamo Dresden before moving to Switzerland’s FC Aarau in 2015. Over the years, he has also played for clubs in Germany, including MSV Duisburg and Türkgücü München. His stint in Indian football began with Chennaiyin FC, where he quickly became a fan favourite, scoring crucial goals in competitions like the Durand Cup.
