Yuvraj - Hazel's love story

On Kapil Sharma's show, Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech had once revealed how their relationship began. It was Yuvraj who wanted to meet Hazel. But, Hazel just wasn't interested in him. Yuvraj first approached Hazel on Facebook where she took a long, long time to accept his friend request. And once she did, Yuvraj pushed to meet her.

What's surprising is that it took Yuvraj three years to convince her to meet him. Every time they used to decide a date and time, Keech used to turn off her phone on that particular day and not show up. Ultimately, after three years of continuously pursuing her, Hazel finally met Yuvraj.
