Ace cricketer and India’s World Cup hero Yuvraj Singh, who has brought laurels to the Indian cricket team with his performances in all formats, announced his retirement on Monday afternoon, bringing down the curtain on a glittering career

Ending a "rollercoaster" career during which he became the hero of India's 2011 World Cup triumph and fought a gritty battle with cancer, the 37-year-old said it is now time to move on. While Yuvraj’s cricket career has always made massive headlines, his love life and affairs with Bollywood actresses has been an equally interesting topic.

Today, as Yuvi retires, here's a look back at the very popular cricketer's Bollywood connect.

Arpita Khan Sharma

Yuvi rose to fame during his early career for his good friendship with Salman Khan's younger sister Arpita Khan Sharma. There were quite some rumours suggesting their romantic relationship but no confirmation or denial was given by the two.

Kim Sharma

Yuvraj Singh was in a long relationship with Kim Sharma and it was reported that the two broke-up as his mother disapproved of their relationship

Minissha Lamba

Yuvraj Singh and Minissha Lamba were allegedly spotted kissing at a lounge bar in Juhu and that is what had fueled their relationship. Minissha had denied the incident saying that it was probably a lookalike, while Yuvi had refrained from commenting.

Anusha Dandekar

Yuvraj used to attend several events hosted by Anusha. The two also attended various parties together which caught the media's attention. The reports say that Yuvi was going steady with Anusha for a couple of months and they were spotted at various parties until their break-up.

Preity Zinta

All know Yuvraj was a part of Kings XI Punjab until 2013. Preity Zinta and Ness Wadia, the owners of the IPL franchise, were in serious relationship for a long time. They were even staying together, according to reports. Although the two denied any relation between them apart from friendship, sources believed that all was true indeed.

Deepika Padukone

Deepika had hosted a grand party on cricketer’s birthday back in 2008. Deepika also attended cricket matches to see Yuvraj play but the two parted ways soon.

Neha Dhupia

At Sophie Choudry's birthday party in 2014, Yuvraj had met Neha and since then they were spotted together in many events. However, like many other affairs, this was labelled as ‘just friends’-thing. Neha's now-husband Angad Bedi had a fallout with Yuvi back then and maybe Neha was the reason behind it. Neha was reportedly Yuvi's last girlfriend before he got married to Hazel.
