In a recent podcast appearance, former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh found himself at the center of controversy after making remarks that many fans believe were aimed at his ex-partner, Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone. During the episode of the “Prairie Fire” podcast with cricket legends Adam Gilchrist and Michael Vaughan, Yuvraj shared an anecdote from India’s 2008 tour of Australia, which has since sparked a wave of criticism on social media.

Yuvraj recounted an incident where he humorously described how a well-known actress, who was filming in Australia at the time, had visited him despite his request for her not to. He mentioned that she mistakenly packed his shoes, leaving him with no option but to wear her pink slippers to catch the team bus. While he did not mention any names, many listeners quickly inferred that he was referring to Padukone, who was indeed in Australia shooting for her film “Bachna Ae Haseeno” during that period.

The backlash was swift, with fans taking to social media to express their outrage. Many criticized Yuvraj for what they deemed cheap and disrespectful comments about an ex-partner, especially since both he and Padukone have since moved on and are happily married. Comments on various platforms included sentiments such as “Yuvraj is blaming Deepika for his failures” and “Why bring up the past now?” Some fans expressed concern that Yuvraj’s comments reflected bitterness over their past relationship.

Adding to the controversy was the fact that these personal details were shared in the context of a light-hearted cricket conversation, which many viewers found inappropriate and uncomfortable. The juxtaposition of personal anecdotes with a casual setting raised eyebrows among fans and commentators alike.

As the controversy continues to unfold, neither Yuvraj Singh nor Deepika Padukone has publicly addressed the issue. The incident raises questions about the boundaries of discussing past relationships in public forums, especially in a world where social media can amplify the fallout of such comments.

As the conversation evolves, many are left wondering whether Yuvraj’s remarks were taken out of context or if he indeed crossed a line by airing personal stories that many believe should remain private.
