Final Mystery
Yuvraj Singh just got married to actor Hazel Keech, only adding to the whole string of movie star-cricketer combo through history, right from Tiger-Sharmila, Azhar-Sangeeta, Harbhajan-Geeta Basra… What’s the connection between cricket and movies? They seem pretty disconnected to me (Anushka is dating Virat Kohli).
Anushka: Let’s look at it this way: Who are the actors getting married to otherwise? To other actors, directors, producers… So you are getting married in the circle you are in, because those are the people you get to meet, unlike say, a doctor or banker. That’s the only logical explanation.
But what’s cricket got to do with movies? Is it the fact that both produce the real stars in terms of popularity in this country?
Anushka: They are the most popular professions in the country, yes. And an actor meeting a cricketer is more likely, and possible — like at an event, or party. The two professions are kind of interlinked in a way.
