After talking about actors, singers and musicians, it is now time to shed some light on Bollywood actresses. Yes, actresses in Bollywood have serious crush over cricketers. Unfortunately, most of the relationships between the actresses and cricketers are very short lived.  Honestly speaking, till now, the only successful relationship I can think about between a Bollywood actress and cricketer is Nawab Patoudi and Sharmila Tagore. Here are names of some of the couples:

Sourav Ganguly+ Nagma:

Sourav and Nagma’s relationship created lots of controversies in India. Sourav Ganguly was the captain of Indian cricket team at that time. Nagma is a popular South Indian film actress. The two have been seen together at a Shiva temple in Andhra Pradesh. Although Sourav Ganguly kept silent about the issue and his family tried to repair his relationship with his wife Dona, Nagma confessed about the relationship.

Kapil Dev + Sarika:

I think Kapil Dev’s status in Indian cricket can be compared to that of Amitabh Bachchan in Indian film industry. Under his captaincy, the Indian Team won the cricket World Cup in 1983. This allrounder Indian cricketer had an affair with the then top actress Sarika, who later got married to Kamal Haasan, the legendary South Indian actor. Recently, she got divorced

Manoj Prabhakar + Farheen:

This notorious Indian bowler who was caught in the match fixing controversy married Farheen, a popular movie actress.

Mohammad Azharuddin + Sangeeta Bijlani:

Sangeeta Bijlani, Miss India 1980 and National Costume Winner at Miss Universe 1980, has been engaged to one of the most successful captains of Indian team Mohammad Azharuddin. It is said that Azharuddin divorced his former wife for her. She was not very successful as an actress and linked with Salman Khan for a short period in Bollywood.
