Bhajji-Geeta, Zaheer-Isha, Yuvi…whenever Bollywood and cricket have ‘wedded’, there are fireworks in plenty for sure

It has been the week since Shah Rukh Khan’s boys one the Indian Premier League season five, but the buzz just doesn’t seems to die. IPL has all the ingredients that make it such an entertaining tournament to watch, be it Bollywood, cheer-leaders, political leaders to controversies, IPL has got it all. IPL-5 saw some intention competition on field, but it is the action that takes place outside the ground which gets the attention of the tinsel-town. Here are some of the reasons why some attention shifted off the field in the past few years.

Harbhajan likely to get married to Geeta Basra this season: Mumbai Indians captain Harbhajan Singh has been in a relationship with UK-based actress Geeta Basra from a long time. Basra has acted in only two hindi movies and both the movies bombed at the box-office. There have been rumours of the couple getting married this year. Though the story has been denied by both.

Zaheer Khan and Isha Sharvani: The premier Indian fast bowled uprooted beautiful Isha Sharvani’s wicket a long time ago. The couple has always avoided the lime light and has kept a low profile. Isha just like Geeta Basra only has Bollywood duds to her name. But her innings with Zaheer has been a pretty solid one.

Yuvraj Singh and Bollywood ladies: Yuvraj has always been a hit among Bollywood actresses. His relationship with Kim Sharma was for everyone to see. After his break-off with Kim, Yuvraj was linked with Deepika Padukone. He is considered to be one of the most eligible bachelors in India. 


Bollywood since the yesteryears have also have had an umbilical cord shared with the Sports fraternity. Many pairs from both the industry have strikingly made a good couple as well.

Amongst the known faces are our very beautiful Sharmila Tagore and the ‘Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi. This couple truly remained one of the best couples where beauty met style until Tiger Pataudi left for heavenly bodies last year.

Also amongst the contemporaries is Lara Dutta and Mahesh Bhupathi, the pretty couple has just been blessed with a darling angel.

Moving ahead we also have couples such as Neena Gupta and Vivian Richards who though haven’t married each other but share a ‘platonic’ relationship. They have a beautiful daughter Masaba, who is a noted fashion designer.

Moving ahead how can we forget the sparkling couple of Sangeeta Bijlani and Azharuddin they have been blissfully married and again an example of beauty meeting good sportsmanship.

Amongst the couples that made it together but couldn’t last in the wed lock are Mohsin Khan and Reena Roy, though the later left her career in Bollywood to remain happy in the marriage, the couple couldn’t make it. The other such couple was of Ravi Shastri and Amrita Singh who were allegedly said to involved in a serious affair that didn’t last long.

Also Zeenat Aman and the super hunky Imran Khan also were apparently dating each other but nothing materialized. But whatever may it be, it is sure that whenever these two industries have wedded each other, fireworks have for sure happened.
