After the marriage of Harbhajan Singh, rumors about Yuvraj Singh’s marriage were making the rounds of tinsel town. Now, reports say the dashing former India cricketer got engaged to actress and model Hazel Keech in Bali, on Wednesday.
Reports say the pair are all set to get married in February next year. They have been dating for the last three months.
The Hindustan Times quoted a source close to the actress saying, “We are happy to confirm that Yuvraj and Hazel have got engaged.”
Both of them have been spotted together frequently in public.
“I was introduced to her by Yuvraj and she is a very nice girl. I am confident that marrying her will change his fortunes and he will return to the national squad,” Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh told The Times of India.
Keech was born in 1987 in England to a British father and a Mauritian mother. In 2002 she joined the Broadway musical Bombay Dreams for their London promotional tour and sang in the choir of the West End musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat in 2003.
During a holiday visit to Mumbai at 18 she got some work offers and decided to pursue a modeling career in India. She has appeared in the TV commercials of Vivel and Sprite.
Keech started her film career with the Tamil film Billa, where she did an item number in a song. She was cast in the blockbuster Bollywood film Bodyguard, starring Salman Khan, in the supporting lead role. But there also she didn’t get noticed.
Keech has performed one more item number in the film Maximum in the song ‘Aa Ante Amalapuram.’
In 2013, Salman Khan, who was the host of the TV reality show Big Boss 7, recommended her for the show. Before getting a chance to draw attention, she was eliminated in the first week itself.
Yuvraj Singh has earlier reportedly linked with Bollywood actresses Kim Sharma and Deepika Padukone
