Cricket Captains to the Bollywood Babes

Connection of Cricket Captains to the Bollywood Babes

In our country, people are obsessed with bollywood stars and Cricketers.Both enjoy similar star status.So, it is common when cricketers get bowled over by actresses, and vice versa.There have been many instances where bollywood babes have fallen for these cricketers.But more often then not their innings never lasted, as if they were playing on stikey wicket.Mohammad azharudin and Nawab pataudi have been exceptions.

Something that is not very new to the Bollywood, there have been many incidents and stories of cricketers getting associated to the glamour girls and later getting settled with the ladies. Both cricket and Bollywood have something in common and that is glamour and money attached to both the professions. It was in 1970’s that for the first time a top Bollywood lady entered into a relation with the cricket captain and though both were from different religion they got married and are settled well.
It is very easy to guess, it is Sharmila Tagore who married cricket captain Nawab Pataudi and their kids are famous stars of Bollywood Saif Ali Khan and Soha Ali Khan. It was not only the association of Sharmila Tagore and Pataudi that was a success story of the affair between the cricket captain and a Bollywood star but later the actress Sangeeta Bijlani was famous for her association with the cricket captain Azharuddin and even in this case Bollywood actress Sangeeta married the top cricketer of a different religion.

Sharmila Tagore-Mansoor Khan Pataudi

When sexy Sharmila Tagore and dashing Tiger Pataudi first met in 1965, at a shoot in Delhi, little did they know what was in store for them. It took four years for a persistent, crazy-in-love, Pataudi to convince the then-bombshell, to marry him. After sending roses and even a refrigerator, if rumour is to be believed, the Bengal beauty relented. Now, it was the turn to convince their families who vehemently opposed this liaison. But love won, and on December 27, 1969, they tied the knot. For a long time, sceptics adopted a wait-and-watch stance, since most such relationships hadn't even made it to the altar. But today, 42 years later, having weathered all kinds of storms, they are an example for Gen Next.

The two then divorced and now Chhote nawab is Fida on Bollywood Babe Bewafa Bebo Kareena Kapoor who recently dumped Sweetu Shahid.

Reena Roy - Moshin Khan

In 1983, at the pinnacle of her career, Reena Roy chucked it all for the handsome Pakistani opener, Moshin Khan. And soon enough, thus doomed their respective careers! The cricketer quit the game to try his hand in acting, but failed. Reena Roy moved to Pakistan, leaving the glamour world behind. Decades after, divorced and embroiled in a bitter custody battle of their daughter, Sanam, Reena returned to India without her child. But later when Mohsin remarried a younger girl who didn't want to look after his daughter, the actress regained custody of Sanam.

Azhar-Sangeeta Bijlani

This couple went through a colossal lot to be together. Having met at a commercial shoot just like Sharmila and Mansoor, this pair kept bumping into each other at social events and even on flights. A much-married Azhar finally couldn't avoid the inevitable from happening. In spite of stiff resistance from all quarters, the ace cricketer left his wife, Naureen and two sons to be with the actress who too had broken off a long relationship with actor Salman Khan. After 'Tirchi topiwaale' became a rage, the model-turned-actress started getting better film offers. But the sexy siren gave it all up for her ever-touring beau. The two tied the knot and Sangeeta changed base to Hyderabad, Azhar's hometown.

Spotted together in a Shiva temple in Andhra Pradesh, the controversy took mammoth proportions. Reams were written about the alleged affair, every possible speculation made. Was the cricketer's wife, the noted Odissi dancer devoting too much to her passion, and that's why the rift? Had the childhood love birds simply drifted apart? Was the cricketer simply glamour struck? Speculations galore, the then-captain maintained a stoic silence all along. However, the actress spoke about their intense relationship after the two spilt.
