Yuvraj Singh shared a surprising story from his dating life in 2007, revealing he was involved with an actress during the notable India–Australia Test series. At the time, Yuvraj was facing significant pressure due to his performance, especially during the infamous ‘Monkeygate’ incident in Sydney.
He mentioned that the actress, still well-known today, was in Australia for a film shoot and came to Canberra to see him. However, feeling overwhelmed by stress, he requested that she refrain from meeting him for a while to concentrate on his game.
Yuvraj Singh revealed he was dating an actress in 2007 during the Test tour of Australia
“I was dating an actress, I won’t name her; (She is) 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, speaking on the Club Prairie Fire podcast.
“So, I met her in the night and we began chatting. 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.
To Yuvraj’s surprise, he discovered that the actress had packed his shoes in her suitcase just 10 minutes before he needed to board the team bus. With no footwear available, she offered him her pink slip-ons, and with no other choice, he put them on.
“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 said with a laugh.
Yuvraj was rumored to have dated several actresses, such as Kim Sharma and Deepika Padukone. He married Hazel Keech in 2016, and they have two children together.
