For some reason, Bollywood actresses have always had a thing for handsome cricketers sweating it out on the pitch and the real-life heroes too can’t resist these glamorous beauty queens who they usually meet in parties or ad shoots. With Harbhajan Singh tying the knot with Geeta Basra and Yuvraj Singh announcing his engagement with Hazel Keech, the cricket and Bollywood alliance seems to be strengthening. Not to forget the beautiful partnership of Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma, who have been in a strong relationship for a long time now. We take a look at some of the most famous cricket-Bollywood link-ups, as we try to decode the B-Town’s connection with some of our Indian cricketers.
The late Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi first met Bollywood diva Sharmila Tagore in 1965 at a common friend’s party. It was literally a case of love at first sight. Sharmila was a popular actress and Tiger Pataudi was the captain of the Indian cricket team. Despite the opposition from both their families, they tied the knot and had a long happy marriage till Tiger Pataudi passed away a few years ago.
Ravi Shastri, after winning the Audi at Australia in 1985, became a star overnight. Amrita was a popular actress then. Both of them had a serious affair but it didn’t last long.
At the peak of her career, in 1983, Reena Roy married Mohsin Khan, the Pakistani batsman and moved to Pakistan. Mohsin retired from international cricket to pursue a film career and acted in a dozen of movies. Their marriage didn’t last long and they eventually divorced.
They met when Azhar was already married and had two children. Azhar was at the peak of his career and she was a successful actress. Azhar divorced his wife to marry Sangeeta and after staying married for 14 years the couple separated in 2010.
Yuvraj Singh and Kim Sharma were one of the most talked about couple, but apparently Yuvraj’s family did not like this closeness and both of them had to part ways.
The duo apparently, dated for about five months before they broke up.
This is one of the recent high profile affairs between Bollywood and cricket. The couple seem to be pretty serious about each other and don’t leave a single opportunity to spend time together be it in New Zealand or Jodhpur.
