Fans lash out at Yuvraj Singh for allegedly defaming Deepika Padukone

While Yuvraj did not explicitly name the actress, fans were quick to connect the dots, believing that he was referring to Deepika Padukone. In early 2008, Deepika was in Australia filming the movie Bachna Ae Haseeno alongside Ranbir Kapoor, and speculation about her rumored relationship with Yuvraj was widespread at the time.

Yuvraj’s story, particularly the details about her status as a current leading actress, led fans to believe she was the one in question. However, users on social media were unimpressed with Yuvraj’s decision to discuss such intimate details publicly, particularly about an old relationship that ended years ago.

Fans labelled it inappropriate for him to mention an actress who has long since moved on in her life, especially considering that both Yuvraj and Deepika are now married to their respective partners, Hazel Keech and Ranveer Singh.

The fact that Yuvraj mentioned this in front of two cricket legends, Gilchrist and Vaughan, added to the discomfort, with many questioning why he would choose to share such personal details in a light-hearted cricket interview.

The incident has sparked heated debate online, with fans criticizing Yuvraj for what they viewed as a lack of discretion. Many expressed that it was disrespectful to bring up a past relationship in such a public manner, especially when the other person involved has not spoken about it. While Yuvraj’s intention might have been to share a light moment from his past, fans have made it clear that they expect more respect and sensitivity when discussing old flames, especially given the public nature of the individuals involved.
