Geeta Basra had an unexpected marriage condition for Harbhajan Singh, here's how Yuvraj Singh helped them
Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra's love story is one for the books. While the sportsman was at the peak of his career, the latter was just launched in the films. Ahead of celebrating a decade of being married to each other, the actress recalled a condition she put forth before tying the knot with the Indian bowler. Basra, during her appearance on Bharti TV, revealed that she was just 21 when Singh asked for her number from his friend and fellow cricketer, Yuvraj Singh. What was Geeta Basra's condition for marrying Harbhajan Singh? While sitting down for a conversation with the media portal, Basra revealed that she had just gotten a film opposite Emraan Hashmi, which was titled Dil Diya Hai and was released in 2006. She reunited with the actor yet again for The Train, which was hitting theaters the following year. The same year the bowler saw Basra's poster, it was love at first sight for him. Furthermore, the actress explained, 'He was very clear. He saw my poster, and it was probably love at first sight for him. He asked Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) for my number. Obviously, Yuvi has a lot of friends,' referring to the latter's connections in the industry. Basra added, 'They'd just won the World Cup. So a couple of days later, I'd messaged, 'Well done! Congratulations!' That's it. We got in touch again. When we met, he was very clear he didn't want friendship and said, 'Tere se hi shaadi karunga' (I'll marry only you). I said, 'Shaadi?' I was only 21.' Meanwhile, having entered the industry 15 years ago, the actress revealed that it was a very different time for women. However, because she too was smitten by Singh, Basra put forth a condition for marriage. She explained, 'For him, it was love at first sight. But I took 10 months to say yes. I told him the day you'd score 300 wickets, I'd say yes. A couple of days later, he got 300 wickets. So I said let's give it a shot.' Harbhajan Singh and Geeta Basra got married in 2015, and are parents to two kids. As for the bowler's career, Singh served in the Indian cricket team from 1998 to 2016. He also played in the IPL, for Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings.

Actor Chris Pratt praises in-law Robert Kennedy Jr, says ‘he's funny, I love him'
Hollywood actor Chris Pratt has spoken warmly about Robert Kennedy Jr., describing him as 'great' and 'funny' during a recent appearance on Bill Maher's Club Random podcast. Pratt, known for his roles in 'Guardians of the Galaxy' and 'Jurassic World', opened up about his family life and his connection to Kennedy Jr., who is the cousin of his wife Katherine Schwarzenegger's mother, Maria Shriver. 'I've spent a number of occasions hanging with him, just in a strictly family dinner kind of vibe,' Pratt told Maher. 'I really got along with him well. I think he's great. I think he's funny. I like him. I love him.' The actor also discussed how politics can be a 'nasty business', saying he avoids getting involved in political debates. He said that doesn't discuss politics or the Trump administration with Kennedy Jr. at family events. The actor 'I'm not gonna pick his brain to find out exactly which of those things are true. I just kind of assume that none of them are, and, for the most part, I wish him well. There's certain things that he oversees that seem to be supported in a bipartisan way — like getting terrible toxic stuff out of our kids' food.' The actor also added, 'So my little bit of experience, I've been able to see how the person that you are can be sometimes in stark contrast to the person that your enemy is saying that you are. And in politics, you inherit enemies. And when you jump on the bandwagon with who is the most divisive president ever, it makes sense that you're going to be made to look terrible. And so I don't know what to believe.' 'I'm not in politics, obviously,' he said. 'But there's a certain level to this in Hollywood, because Hollywood in itself is a political institution. I've seen how the person you are can be such a contrast to the person that people are being told that you are… That is pure fiction.' Pratt added that millions of people might believe something untrue, and he doesn't feel the need to step in and defend himself. 'Nor am I going to jump in and be mired in this story.'
