Anushka Sharma and Virat
Kohli’s wedding in Italy is the hot topic of discussion. Neither of them have
yet confirmed the news officially but there are strong rumours that Anushka and
Virat are tying the knot. We were the first to tell you that the wedding is
happening in Tuscany & Milan- and functions begin from December
9 and culminate on December 12.
We hear it’s going to be a hush-hush wedding with only close friends and
relatives in attendance.
Virat isn’t the only actor who has been clean bowled by a
Bollywood beauty. Recently, Zaheer Khan and Sagarika Ghatge tied the knot and
theirs was a wedding that was much talked about. And if you go to see,
Bollywood beauties have been wooing cricketers since very long. Some of these
love affairs couldn’t make it to the altar but were definitely among the most
famous and much talked about relationships. Apart from Virat-Anushka,
Zaheer-Sagarika, let’s take you through 8 other such cricketer-actress jodis
whose love affairs became the talk of the town!
Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech
Yuvraj and Hazel had been dating for quite some time before they got hitched. In fact, Yuvraj had to actually wait for over three years to get to meet Hazel! In an earlier interview, Yuvraj had revealed how he kept approaching Hazel but she would refuse to meet him. Eventually she gave in, and theyfell in love. It has been over a year since their fairytale wedding. The duo celebrated their first wedding anniversary recently.
Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra
Harbhajan And Geeta
Geeta and Harbhajan never admitted to being in a relationship for a very long
time. But their wedding announcement didn’t really take anyone by surprise. The
couple got hitched in October 2015 and have a baby girl named Hinaya, who is
simply adorable!
Sushmita Sen and Wasim Akram
Wasim And Sushmita
Among Sushmita Sen’s most popular love affairs was the one with Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram. Rumour mills were abuzz about Sushmita and Wasim’s wedding but the actress quick to rubbished them all.
Sharmila Tagore and Tiger Pataudi
Sharmila Tiger Pataudi
Sharmila Tagore and Tiger Pataudi’s was a very unconventional love story. He was the youngest captain of the Indian cricket team and she was Bollywood’s leading light. Sharmila was the first actress to have posed in a bikini, breaking all taboos in that time. These two gloriously good-looking and talented people, were a match made in heaven.
Neena Gupta and Vivian Richards
Vivian Richards And Neena Gupta
Neena Gupta and Vivian Richards were together for a very short time and yet
theirs was a very controversial relationship. The West Indian team came to
India for a series of test matches in the 1987-88. When the two met, they
instantly fell for each other. He was extremely charming, she was supremely
beautiful. There was fatal attraction and soon Neena found herself carrying
Richard’s baby.
Proudly and courageously, single mom Neena raised her daughter Masaba Gupta. Today the young lady, married to producer Madhu Mantena is doing extremely well for herself. She’s a well known fashion designer and has a high-profile clientele. The mother and daughter have kept in touch with Richard over the years and even though they don’t stay together, they are very much a family.
Reena Roy and Mohsin Khan
Reena Roy And Mohsin Khan
Reena Roy and Mohsin Khan were madly in love. They had known each other for over six years. Long enough to know someone in and out? But maybe not long enough to know whether you could spend the rest of your life with them or no. Reena and Mohsin got married and the actress quit her career for Mohsin. But somehow, their marriage didn’t work out and they headed for a divorce soon. It is a clear case of a wedding that turned sour. Post her split with Mohsin, Reena tried making a comeback but she eventually disappeared after a few unsuccessful attempts.
Amrita Singh and Ravi Shastri
Ravi Shastri And Amrita Singh
Long before Anushka Sharma did it for Virat Kohli, Amrita Singh did it for her
then boyfriend Ravi Shastri. We’re talking about cheering from the stands at
the Sharjah Stadium. Amrita and Ravi’s was a much-talked about love affair but
it fizzled out eventually.
Sourav Ganguly and Nagma
Nagma And Saurabh Ganguly
Another controversial relationship which eventually went down the dumps was
that of Sourav Ganguly and Nagma. However, the reason why they parted ways was
something that not everyone could understand. Neither of them ever spoke about
it until Nagma opened up in an interview with a magazine in 2003.
She said, “There was a career at stake, besides other things, so one had to
part. One had to weigh a lot of things, rather than be on an ego trip and
insist on being together. A smaller interest had to be sacrificed for bigger
interests... When a game is being played, people should understand it is a
sport. It's very weird that people started getting carried away. Whenever India
played, people said that a person was not doing well because he was emotionally
attached. This is so juvenile. When it becomes too much, it starts affecting
the interest of one another. Then slowly, though you're supposed to bring
happiness to a person's life, you bring misery. Then it's in the best interests
to move on."
Sangeeta Bijlani and Mohommed Azharuddin
Azharuddin And Sangeeta
Sangeeta Bijlani and Mohommad Azharuddin’s relationship hit the rough patch
after 14 years of togetherness. The couple split as their relationship didn’t
work out. While they were together, Sangeeta even changed her name to Ayesha
Azhar. Not just that, the cricketer divorced his first wife to be with
Sangeeta. But fate had something else in store for them both.
Zeenat Aman and Imran Khan
Zeenat Aman Imran Khan
70's bombshell, Zeenat Aman dated Imran Khan for a very brief period of time.
Their relationship grabbed many eyeballs but love faded away in no time.
Reportedly, Zeenat Aman later had an affair with Sanjay Khan and was in fact
slapped by his wife at a party. Khan on his part had reportedly dated, Benazir
Bhutto, while the two were studying at Oxford University.
