“It was God’s play, what was written for me. There was a lot of anger and feeling of revenge. Then cricket came in my life, got discontinued, made Yuvi play cricket, he played and left. Then, I got married again, had two kids, they also left for the US. A few films also released, time passed away and came back to the point where it all started. I was asking myself that I did all of this for what? Do you have anyone with you now? This should have happened with me, happened for good,” he shared.

He also called Yuvi and Shabnam leaving his house the biggest shock of his life.

“When things came at a point where Yuvi and his mother left me, it gave me the biggest shock. The woman for whom I dedicated my entire life, all of my youth, they can also leave me and go away? A lot of things got destroyed like this. I asked God why all of this was happening when I did everything right by everyone. I might have made some mistakes, but I am an innocent man, didn’t do anything bad to anyone. I cried in front of God, he took me out of that sea,” Yograj added.

When asked about his daily routine now by the host, Yograj replied, "I sit alone in the evening, have no one at home. I rely on strangers for food, sometimes one person, sometimes the other. I don’t bother anyone though. Someone or the others gets food for me if I am hungry. I kept house help and cooks, they served and went away."

“I love my mother, kids, daughter in law, grandchildren, everyone in the family. But, I don’t ask for anything. I am ready to die. My life is completed, whenever God wants, he can take me with him. I am so thankful to God, I pray and he keeps giving,” Yograj Singh concluded.

Yograj Singh is a cricket coach and has worked in over 200 films. He started working in the 1970s. Singh has appearances in big Bollywood projects like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag and Singh is Bliing.
