Probably, the first instance where a Bollywood actress married a cricketer. Tiger Pataudi who was then the youngest appointed captain of team India fell in love with Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore, the reigning queen of the 60’s and 70’s. Sharmila Tagore and Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi got married on 27 December 1969 after four years of courtship. Sharmila continued acting in films post-marriage whereas Tiger retired from the game in the 70’s due an accident where he lost an eye. The couple had three children – Saif, Saba and Soha. Their marriage lasted a lifetime before Mansur Ali Khan Pataudi passed away on 22 September 2011.
