In this series of images, we shall know about the wife of India's star cricketer, who dated him for 8 years and chose to leave her career after marriage. Let's know their love story.
The romance between this couple started not in India, but overseas. The cricketer was first spotted with the actress in London, and it was love at first sight for him. Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh then put in considerable effort to win over Geeta Basra and eventually marry her.
In one of his interviews, Harbhajan Singh revealed that he first saw Geeta Basra in the music video of the song 'Woh Ajnabee' and instantly fell for her. He was in London at the time, and after watching the video, he began asking his Indian team mates for information about Geeta.
Harbhajan Singh also reached out to Geeta Basra with a message, but since she didn't recognize him, she didn't respond. The cricketer even invited her for a coffee, but the actress declined the offer.
The Indian men's cricket team's victory in the T20 World Cup played a crucial role in the love story of this couple. Geeta Basra sent Harbhajan Singh a congratulatory message for winning the World Cup, and that's how their conversation began.
Harbhajan Singh shared that Geeta Basra made him wait for a year before agreeing to be in a relationship. Reflecting on this, the 'The Train' actress mentioned that she was focused on her career at the time and wasn't ready for a relationship. However, once she realized that Harbhajan Singh was a kind-hearted person, she couldn't resist and finally agreed to start a relationship. The couple then dated for 8 years before getting married.
Geeta Basra tied the knot with Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh on October 29, 2015, in Jalandhar, Punjab. The couple has a daughter, Hinaya Heer Plaha, and a son, Jovan Veer Singh Plaha. After marrying Harbhajan Singh, Geeta Basra stepped away from Bollywood to dedicate herself to her family and the upbringing of their children.
