There have been plenty of speculations about Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech's December wedding but the couple have so far maintained a tight-lipped silence on their personal life. But Kapil Sharma managed to get them to reveal some interesting details about the wedding during his talk show (The Kapil Sharma Show) on Sony. The much-anticipated shaadi will be a mix of Sikh and Hindu ceremonies. When prodded on why they have been so secretive, the cricketer said with a laugh, “I'm afraid that if I speak too much, too many people may land up at the venue and I may not get entry myself.“

According to a source from the sets, Yuvi admitted that he had finally managed to get Hazel to give the nod to his proposal after a long run around. “He revealed that for the first three years, he kept trying to get her to meet him for coffee. She would agree every time he messaged her, but on the appointed day, she would switch off her phone and not turn up,“ informs the source, pointing out that they had became friends on the social media and it took Yuvraj over a year, with some help from a common friend, to finally get to meet her in person. And that's when romance finally bloomed with plenty of perseverance from his side.

After they started spending time together, Hazel finally unbent and accepted Yuvi's proposal. Soon after, he met her parents to tell them how successful he is and how much he loves their daughter so he could make their relationship official.

Much like her family, Hazel too is clueless about cricket and her beau's achievements on the field. “When quizzed on the show she didn't even know against which team Yuvraj had hit his famous six sixes in an over. When Kapil mentioned that it was against England, she was surprised as she is British herself and Yuvraj joked that he has stopped discussing cricket with her,“ laughs the source.
