It's not IPL that has brought the country's two obsessions – Cricket and Bollywood – together, the cinema-cricket merger happened long ago (perhaps the world over), and our young cricketers are only taking forward the legacy of their seniors, with all their 'heart'.
The innings might have begun in the 70s with Sharmila Tagore. The then sexy actress' career was at an all-time high when she decided to tie the knot with Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi.
Around the same time, during one India sojourn, South African captain Garfield Sobers got briefly engaged to actress Anju Mahendru.
Then there were tales of romantic involvement of Imran Khan with Zeenat Aman, Ravi Shastri with Amrita Singh, Sourav Ganguly almost risking his marriage coz of Nagma, Azharuddin divorcing his wife to wed Sangeeta Bijlani... and Neena Gupta's short-lived affair with Vivian Richards was talked about once again, when the West Indian cricketer recently graced the front row for their love child, designer Masaba's fashion show.
'BATTING' EYELIDS
Until the 21-year-old Sakshi Singh Rawat was under wraps, MS Dhoni was known to have a crush on Deepika Padukone, and reportedly, Asin and Dhoni got along like a house on fire, not to forget his rumoured liaisons with even Lakshmi Rai. Post the skipper's wedding, Pakistani actress Veena Malik confesed that she "still loves Mohammad Asif". While Yuvraj's Bollywood link-up list may be long, Kim Sharma, Minissha Lamba and Deepika are the names we remember the most. Geeta Basra has been cheering Harbhajan Singh on the field for quite a long time now. The two were also spotted together walking into a hotel together recently.
Now, while Zaheer Khan may be tying the knot soon with Isha Sharvani, Virat Kohli and Sreesanth are still denying their alleged link ups with Sarah Jane Dias and Riya Sen (latest speculation is Shazahn Padamse) respectively. Guess they don't know this is just a part of their 'game'!
Take a look here...
