Yuvraj Singhthe former Indian cricket star recently opened up about his romantic encounter with a Bollywood actress during the Indian cricket team’s 2007-2008 tour of Australia. In a candid chat on the Club Prairie Fire podcast, Yuvraj spoke about how he followed the actress to Canberra while she was focusing on her cricketing commitments.
A romantic interlude
During the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Yuvraj revealed that the actress was in Australia for a film shoot at the same time as the Indian team. He remembered a moment when he had said he wanted to spend more time with her. Despite their budding love affair, Yuvraj had to remind her of her professional commitments.
“I was dating an actress, I won’t mention her name. Currently very good and very experienced. He was filming in Adelaide. I told him, listen, let’s hang out for a while because I’m on tour in Australia and I need to concentrate. He followed me on the bus to Canberra. I didn’t get many runs in the two Tests. And I said “what are you doing here?” And he said, “I want to spend time with you.” shared.
Yuvraj humorously revealed how the actress packed her suitcase before leaving for Adelaide, showing her love and support.
“So I met him at night and we started talking. I told him you have to focus on your career and I have to focus on mine because I’m on the Australian tour and you know what that means. “Anyway, we were leaving Canberra for Adelaide and he packed my suitcase.” she added, highlighting both the warmth and challenges of balancing personal relationships with professional responsibilities.

Pink slip phenomenon
One of the funnier anecdotes from Yuvraj’s memoirs involved a pair of pink slip-ons. After realizing that her shoes were collected by the actress, she had no choice but to wear her shiny shoes.
“In the morning, I was saying, ‘Where are my shoes?’ He said, “I collected them.” “How was I going to get on the bus?” I asked. And he said, “Put mine on.” She had these pink slip-ons. And I was like, “Oh my God.” I had to wear those pink slip-ons and carry my bag in front of my shoes to hide them. The children saw this and clapped for me. I had to wear pink pants to the airport until I bought flip-flops there.” he laughed, recalling how his teammates reacted with applause to his unconventional shoe choice.
While Yuvraj refused to reveal the name of the actress in the podcast, it is rumored to be the case Deepika PadukoneContacted him during the 2007-2008 Australian tour. However, reports suggest that he was dating Kim Sharma at the same time; but their relationship ended in 2008.
