Yuvraj Singh's fiancée Hazel Keech is furious. The actress allegedly faced racial discrimination at the Jaipur branch of the well-known international money transfer company Western Union. Currently on a brief vacation in Jaipur, Hazel and her mom walked into the branch, to collect cash sent through the company (by her aunt in the US). The officials denied her the same saying, “Aapka naam Hindu nahi hai.“

The actress voiced her displeasure in a series of tweets. Recalling the strange incident, she told Bombay Times, “I was very angry. They were trying to be difficult the moment I walked in. Had it been the case of me not carrying the right documents, I wouldn't mind but they said it was because of my name. I told them that I am an Indian citizen, so how does it matter what my name is! Indian citizens don't need to show a passport, you just need government documents as ID proof (pan card and driving license) and I had that with me. But they refused to see my IDs. I spoke to three officers and all of them were rude. They kept laughing and sneering.“

The actress revealed that the reason she made her contempt public is because it's not the first time this has happened. She added, “I don't want anyone to go through this. I am not dramatic or the kind who makes a fuss about things, but this behaviour is unacceptable. My friend, who is an Indian citizen, born and raised in Pune, has faced a similar situation because her name is Insia Lacewala. Maybe I should change my name to Gayatri or Bhagwati next time. I even asked them if I should recite the Gayatri Mantra or Hanuman Chalisa. My mother is a Hindu and she is a brown Indian lady, who was with me when this happened. They gave me a tough time because I am fair-skinned. You cannot deny me something because of my name or the way I look. India is known for its diversity and such acts should not happen.“

Meanwhile, the company has assured the actress that they will look into the matter and get back to her. Yuvraj Singh tweeted (excerpts), “We all are human beings. Is that not enough? Racial discrimination will not be tolerated. (sic).“
