Yuvi has always known to be a charmer amongst ladies. Even Bollywood beauties like Kim Sharma and Deepika Padukone could not help, but fall to his lovely ways. While Yuvraj was maintaining his ‘just good friends’ stance, one could simply not ignore his great chemistry with these actresses. While his relationship with Kim was steady and long (sadly it did not go anywhere), it was fairly short-lived with Deepika. However, the sizzle in the both love stories fizzled out. And today, Deepika is happy in the company of her 'lucky boy' Ranveer Singh. On the other hand, Kim married businessman Ali Punjani and moved to Kenya.

Considered to be one of the steadiest romances of the ‘cricket pitch-tinsel town’ alliance, this 8-year-long relationship too faced its share of ups and downs. People around the couple kind of took it for granted that tying the knot would be the next logical step for them. So, it came as a shock when the duo announced that they are not getting married, but are separating instead! Both of them have moved on in their respective lives and the cricketer is now engaged to Chak De India actress Sagarika Ghatge.

Thanks to his cricketing strokes doing good on the pitch and also his dashing looks, Ravi was already a darling amongst the masses. Bollywood actress Amrita too was slowly finding her foothold in the film industry during the late 80s. They painted the town red when they candidly confessed their feelings for each other in front of the camera. But unfortunately, their romance was short-lived, when Ravi married Ritu in 1990, and a few years later Amrita got married to actor Saif Ali Khan.
