Pataudi-Tagore

One of the most regal couples (literally) who have brought together cricket and Bollywood are Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore.

The couple met in 1965. Mansoor Ali Khan who was a big name in cricket and led the Indian cricket team apart from being the Nawab of Pataudi pursued Sharmila Tagore which ended in their marriage in 1969.

They had three children – Saba, Soha and Saif.  Soha Ali Khan and Saif Ali Khan both have made  a name for themselves in Bollywood.

Saif taking a cue from his father is currently woo-ing Kareena Kapoor, after divorcing his wife Amrita Singh. His marriage to Singh was vehemently opposed by Sharmila and Mansoor.

Rani & Cricket

Rani Mukerji will be re-appearing on screen as a cricketer in Aditya Chopra’s next venture about cricket aptly named Cricket. Nice and to the point.

The petite and plump actress has been losing out to younger actresses as she has put on a lot of weight.  So she is working extra hard to get rid of all that extra baggage.

Her last movie Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic with Saif Ali Khan was a dismal flop and apart from that she had only a special appearance in the hit Rab Ne Bana Di Kya Jodi.
