Yuvraj Singh was rumoured to be dating a film actor in 2007-08 and recently, the cricketer opened up about the same in an interview. The cricketer, without naming the female actor, said that during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia in 2007-08, the actor was also shooting in Australia and at one point, she followed him to Canberra. When he asked what she was up to, the actor said that she wanted to spend time with him. Yuvraj also said that during his last night in Canberra, the actor was visiting him and he told her that they should both be focusing on their careers, after which, his girlfriend packed his suitcase.

In a chat with Club Prairie Fire podcast, Yuvraj said that the actress was “very good at the moment and very experienced.” “She was shooting in Adelaide. I told her, listen, let’s not meet for a bit because I’m on Australia tour, and need to focus. She followed me to Canberra in the bus. In two Tests, I didn’t get many runs. And I was like, ‘what are you doing here?’ And she was like, ‘I want to spend time with you’,” he said.

Yuvraj then shared that he met her in the night and they started talking. “I told her you need to focus on your career and I need to focus on mine, because I’m on Australia tour and you know what that means. Anyway, we were leaving for Adelaide from Canberra and she packed my suitcase,” he added.

The cricketer said that the next morning, when he was about to leave, he asked his girlfriend about his shoes but she had already packed them. He shared, “In the morning, I was like ‘where are my shoes?’ She said, ‘I packed them’. I asked, ‘How would I go on the bus?’ And she said, ‘Wear mine’. She had these pink slip-ons. And I was like, ‘Oh my god’. I had to wear those pink slip-ons, and I was carrying my bag in front of my shoes to hide them. The guys saw it, and they clapped for me. I had to wear pink slip-ons to the airport until I bought flip-flops there.”

Yuvraj was reportedly dating actor Kim Sharma at the time. The two called off their relationship in 2008.

Yuvraj married actor Hazel Keech in 2016. They are parents to son Orion and daughter Aura.
