How Yuvraj Singh met Hazel Keech
Yuvraj Singh met Hazel Keech at a party in 2011. He loved her smile and she
pretended not to notice him. Bodyguard had released that year and she was a
star. Yuvraj said, “I asked her at least 8 times to have coffee with me but she
refused.”
That same year he was diagnosed with cancer. He went to US for his treatment.
Destiny had plans for them
In 2014 Yuvraj found Hazel on Angad Bedi’s Facebook profile. He sent her a friend
request and it took her 3 months to accept it.
Yuvraj had already told Angad: “Don’t even talk to her, she is mine.” He proposed
her on a vacation in Bali. “I am not romantic. I was nervous,” said Yuvraj.
About each other
They tied the knot in 2016. Hazel said: “In 2014 when he was called back to the
India team I saw him crying. I realized then what cricket means to him.”
Yuvraj said: “Hazel is a genuine honest person who knows the real me.”
The loved-up couple look forward to spending quality time together after his
recent retirement from cricket.
