The love stories between the cricketers and the Bollywood divas is not a new trend in the celebrity world. Recently, the wedding of Indian skipper Virat Kohli and Bollywood diva Anushka Sharma has resurfaced the celebrity goals at a whole new level. On the same lines, there is an unfulfilled love story of former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Akhtar.

Reportedly, there was a time when Shoaib was a big follower of Bollywood actress Sonali Bendre. Sonali, who was known for her innocent and cute looks, had made the then fastest bowler in the world skip a heartbeat. As per the reports in Jansatta, Shoaib Akhtar used to follow Sonali a lot. In fact, he even used to carry a photograph of Sonali Bendre in his wallet.

His teammates had also spotted the same on a numerous occasions. Shoaib Akhtar had managed to meet Sonali as well during one of the India vs Pakistan fixtures. However, nothing could progress in this particular one sided love story of Shoaib. The story was so intense that in one of the interviews Shoaib had quoted that he would kidnap Sonali if she refuses his proposal.

The reports suggest that Sonali Bendre was not interested in this love saga and that pretty much ended the story for Shoaib as well. Now, both Sonali and Shoaib are well settled with lovely partners. Sonali Bendre went on to tie the knot to Bollywood director Goldy Bahl back in the year 2002. Meanwhile, Shoaib Akhtar married a beautiful Pakistani lady Rubab in the year 2014.

Love is in the air for cricket and Bollywood

Over the years, there have been several cricketers who have got married to Bollywood celebrities. Prior to the Virat and Anushka story, there were a couple more stories in line for the Indian fans. Former pacer Zaheer Khan tied the knot to actress Sagarika Ghatge this year. Last year, veteran Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh had tied the knot to actress Hazel Keech.
