In an interview with The Vintage Studio, Yograj recalled the time when his first wife, Shabnam Kaur, and son, Yuvraj Singh, left him. He called it the worst shock of his life. The former cricketer also revealed that he is “ready to die” and does not want anything more in life.

Yograj Singh on his first wife, Yuvraj leaving
Talking about his relationship with his first wife, Yograj admitted, “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.”
