Team India’s veteran off-spinner Harbhajan Singh and Bollywood actress Geeta Basra tied the nuptial knot in a grand fashion on 29 October 2015. Singh had been in a relationship with the beautiful star for the last five years, but the two remained tight-lipped about the same. They now have a daughter named Hinaya.
Legendary actress Sharmila Tagore and late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi were probably the first names who showed the interesting amalgamation of cricket and Bollywood with their nuptial announcement. The parents of Bollywood star Saif Ali Khan, Sharmila and Mansoor, had a Nikah ceremony on 27 December 1969. According to entertainment daily Bollywoodshaadis,com, "the Nawab of Pataudi had to do a lot of wooing in order to impress the Bengali beauty. He even gifted her a refrigerator, but that did not work. It was the roses and letters, which were sent over a span of four years that made Sharmila say 'yes'".
Apart from this, the very famous love affair of actress Sangeeta Bijlani and former Indian cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin caught the eyes of many. In an interview with India Today, Azharuddin said that it was love at first sight for him when he met Bijlani during an ad shoot in 1985. They decided to tie the knot in 1996, but are now divorced.
