Former Team India cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin earned a lot of name from cricket. But even more headlines were made by his love story.
Sangeeta Bijlani married Mohammad Azharuddin.
Azharuddin was first married to Naureen in 1987. Asad and Ayaz, they had two sons from this marriage. Naureen was from a traditional Muslim family, and her marriage was completely arranged. But after a few years, Azhar and Naureen’s relationship started getting distance. The reason for which was Sangeeta Bijlani. Sangeeta and Azhar started loving each other.
In the early 1990s, Azharuddin met Bollywood actress and former Miss India Sangeeta Bijlani. The proximity between the two increased and gradually the relationship turned into love. Azharuddin divorced Naureen in 1996 and then married Sangeeta Bijlani. However, this marriage did not last for many years.
After staying together for nearly a decade, cracks also started in Azhar and Sangeeta’s relationship. According to media reports, there were reports of Azharuddin’s affair with another woman (perhaps badminton player Jwala Gutta), which affected her relationship. Now both live separately. Although Azhar and Sangeeta never officially confirmed their divorce, they separated and no longer live together. The film is scheduled on Azhar Azharuddin’s love story.
