Before becoming a popular name in the world of sports, cricketer Yuvraj Singh went through a difficult personal phase during his childhood. His father Yograj Singh, known for his blunt statements, has often opened up about the constant fights in their family and how the former India all rounder was the first one to realise the same. In a recent interview, former actor-cricketer Yograj revealed that the biggest shock of his life was when his wife and son left him. He also admitted that he gets food from strangers everyday and is done with his life now.

During a conversation with The Vintage Studio, he shared that when his first wife Shabnam and son Yuvraj Singh left home, he got married again. “It was God’s play, what was written for me. There was a lot of anger and feeling of revenge. Then cricket came in my life, got discontinued, made Yuvi play cricket, he played and left. Then, I got married again, had two kids, they also left for the US. A few films also released, time passed away and came back to the point where it all started. I was asking myself that I did all of this for what? Do you have anyone with you now? This should have happened with me, happened for good,” he shared.

Recalling his life’s biggest shock, Yograj added, “When things came at a point where Yuvi and his mother left me, it gave me the biggest shock. The woman for whom I dedicated my entire life, all of my youth, they can also leave me and go away? A lot of things got destroyed like this. I asked God why all of this was happening when I did everything right by everyone. I might have made some mistakes, but I am an innocent man, didn’t do anything bad to anyone. I cried in front of God, he took me out of that sea.”

When the host asked about how he lives away with his family currently, the former cricketer shared, “I sit alone in the evening, have no one at home. I rely on strangers for food, sometimes one person, sometimes the other. I don’t bother anyone though. Someone or the others gets food for me if I am hungry. I kept house help and cooks, they served and went away.”

While he loves his family by heart, he doesn’t demand anything from them. “I love my mother, kids, daughter in law, grandchildren, everyone in the family. But, I don’t ask for anything. I am ready to die. My life is completed, whenever God wants, he can take me with him. I am so thankful to God, I pray and he keeps giving,” Yograj Singh concluded.

Yograj Singh is a cricket coach who has worked in over 200 films, going back to the 1970s. He has also appeared in Bollywood projects such as Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Singh is Bliing.
