Kuldeep Yadav is one of the few remaining bachelors in the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup-winning Indian cricket team. The wrist-spinner has recently hinted at some exciting news, leaving fans eagerly anticipating wedding bells and guessing whether the lucky one is from Bollywood.

Well, Bollywood and cricket, two of India's biggest obsessions and most beloved industries have a long history of high-profile love affairs and marriages. The union of glamorous film stars and charismatic cricketers has always captivated and fascinated millions.

Cricket and Bollywood have an enchanting history

One of the most iconic couples was Sharmila Tagore, a celebrated Bollywood actress, and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, the former Indian cricket team captain. Their marriage in 1969 marked the beginning of Bollywood cricket romances. Another famous couple was Sangeeta Bijlani and Mohammad Azharuddin.

However, the former Indian captain Azharuddin and actress Bijlani ended their story in a diverse way back in 2010. Well, the marriage of Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma and India’s batting superstar Virat Kohli has been the epitome of this star-studded Bollywood-cricket romance.

Their wedding in 2017 was a grand affair, celebrated both in the media and among fans. The couple continues to inspire and leave their fans in awe with their chemistry, love, and support for each other. A few other well-known names are the legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh and current Team India all-rounder Hardik Pandya.

Yuvraj married British actress and model Hazel Keech in 2016, while Hardik tied the knot with actress-model Natasa Stankovic in a private ceremony, which highlights the strong bond between Bollywood and cricket.

Kuldeep Yadav breaks silence on rumors of marriage with Bollywood star

Well, Kuldeep Yadav is not in the mood to follow the path of his Indian teammates, as the T20 World Cup 2024 winner has finally opened up about his marriage plans at his felicitation ceremony in Kanpur.

Upon his arrival, hundreds of fans turned out to welcome Kuldeep, who took 10 wickets to play a key role in India's historic T20 World Cup win, with fireworks, Dhols, and music to honor the spinner.

Coming to the point, Kuldeep playfully made it clear that his future spouse would not be from Bollywood, as he wants a partner who prioritizes understanding and cares for him and his family rather than someone who seeks the spotlight of a glamorous career.

Kuldeep Yadav was quoted as saying by NDTV: “You'll get the good news soon, but she won't be an actress. It is important that she can take care of me and my family.”

Notably, Kuldeep Yadav recently met Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, and he also a special post for his fans, labeling them as his biggest strength.
