Yuvraj Singh, the former India cricketer, recently made a revelation about his personal life where he revealed that he dated a film actress during India’s 2007-08 Australian tour for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Though he did not reveal the identity of the actress, social media users were quick to speculate that it was Deepika Padukone, one of leading Bollywood actresses at present, and are furious at the 2007 T20 World Cup winner for talking about a past relationship in such details publicly.


Appearing on the Club Prairie Fire podcast, Yuvraj talked about a funny incident where he had to leave the hotel he was staying at in Canberra in pink slip-ons that belonged to the actress, who followed the 2007 T20 World Cup winner to Canberra to spend time with him.

“I was dating an actress, I won't name her; (She is) very good at the moment and very experienced. She was shooting in Adelaide. I told her, listen, let's not meet for a bit because I'm on Australia tour, and need to focus. She followed me to Canberra in the bus. In two Tests, I didn't get many runs. And I was like, 'what are you doing here?' And she was like, ‘I want to spend time with you',” Yuvraj said.


“So, I met her in the night and we began chatting. I told her you need to focus on your career and I need to focus on mine, because I'm on Australia tour and you know what that means. Anyway, we were leaving for Adelaide from Canberra and she packed my suitcase,” he added.


“In the morning, I was like ‘where are my shoes'? She said, ‘I packed them'. I asked, ‘How would I go on the bus'? And she said, 'Wear mine'. She had these pink slip-ons. And I was like, 'Oh my god'. I had to wear those pink slip-ons, and I was carrying my bag in front of my shoes to hide them. The guys saw it, and they clapped for me. I had to wear pink slip-ons to the airport until I bought flip-flops there.”


Social Media Lashes Out At Yuvraj For Revealing Past Relationship Details


Following Yuvraj's revelation, social media users criticised him for discussing the incident in such detail publicly, arguing that it compromised the dignity of the actress involved.


A user on X wrote, “you are so Cheap Yuvi.” while another said, “Will never understand people bringing up 2 decade old exes.. either you never got over them or you're using them for attention.”
