Former India cricketer and Team India head coach Ravi Shastri is celebrating his 63rd birthday on Tuesday (May 27). Shastri was known for his colourful private life before marriage to Ritu Singh in 1990.
According to media reports, Shastri was besotted by tennis legend Gabriela Sabatini and had even flown to Argentina to propose to the gorgeous star. The former India all-rounder was also know to be in a relationship with Bollywood actress Amrita Singh, ex-wife of Saif Ali Khan and mother of Sara Ali Khan.
A video went viral on Tuesday in which Ravi Shastri is heard speaking about his ‘girlfriend’ Amrita Singh. WATCH the viral video of Shastri HERE…
“When I met my girlfriend for the first time… Amrita Singh. You must have seen her in films. I met her for the first time in a restaurant in Mumbai. I did not say anything for the initial ten minutes. I knew that I was shy with girls but I did not know that I will not even get a chance to speak. She kept talking for ten minutes. This was my most embarrassing moment,” Shastri is heard speaking in the old video.
The rumoured couple had got close to getting married as well but Ravi Shastri and Amrita Singh could not tie the knot. After their breakup, Amrita Singh went on to marry actor Saif Ali Khan in January 1991. Their marriage, however, also ended in divorce in 2004 after 13 years. The couple has two children, Sara Ali Khan and Ibrahim Ali Khan, both of whom have made their mark in Bollywood.
Shastri and Amrita Singh had famously posed together for ‘Blitz’ film magazine back in Novembr 1986. However, the former Team India head coach had revealed that he didn’t want to get married to an actress because he was too ‘chauvinistic’.
“I definitely don’t want an actress wife. I am chauvinistic. Her home should be her first priority,” Shastri was quoted as saying in the media.
After the rumoured couple split, Ravi Shastri got married to Ritu Singh in 1990 and ended his marriage of 22 years in 2012. The couple have one daughter named Alekha together.
