EXCLUSIVE: Hazel Keech - I know people call Yuvraj Singh a mumma's boy but she has been devoted to him

Yuvraj Singh and Hazel Keech's marriage has been one of the most talked weddings and fans went gaga when the pictures of their wedding went viral. We got a chance to chit-chat with Hazel and she opened on how life has changed post marriage, on her Bollywood plans and how she spends time with hubby Yuvraj.

Here are excerpts from the interview: 

Yuvraj Singh and you have been with each other for quite some time now. How has life changed post marriage?

Between us, not really. I think we are kind of happier now and we both have the security of marriage with us. You know he is far busier now, so I hardly see him post-marriage.

You also went to cheer Yuvraj at IPL. How about it?

Well, never having watched IPL before and the only cricket match I watched was the one in Delhi in 2015. And I am only interested in the game if he is playing. And if he is not, then I am really not interested. Now, I understand the game a little better and I get the basics of it.

Is there anything you discovered about Yuvraj Singh that you didn't know before marriage?

Not really. We are exactly the same. We are very transparent in that sense.

What about working again in Bollywood?

I am very happy and looking for a good script. I recently was working in production for a film. It's like I have to choose between a job and spending time with him RIGHT NOW. So, we have been married only for three months and I think now I have to support him.

What was the real reason of Yograj Singh not attending the wedding ceremonies? According to reports, he wasn't allowed to attend the marriage. How true is it?

With regards to that, we are not going to exclude anyone with two families coming together. We were trying to respect everyone. For that, we had two rituals - one Sikh wedding and one Hindu ceremony. Whatever he wants to say, it's up to him. It wasn't that he wasn't invited, he was ABSOLUTELY welcomed.

Anushka Sharma has always been criticised when Virat Kohli doesn't perform that well on the field and now are also married to a cricketer. What's your take on it? 

With social media, there is a fashion that we speak louder than we think. It has just become a platform where people just judge and spread anger and hate. These cricketers work so hard, be it training schedules or their diet. I do think that it's unfair to criticise anyone if they are having a bad day. But, then you can't stop howling. We have kind of lost compassion in the human race. We tend to become really harsh.

As Yuvraj is a cancer survivor and his journey is inspirational in the true sense, what do you have to say about it? 

Cancer is something that can happen to anyone like a sportsperson who is eating right and doing his bit correctly. Cancer really takes your life away. He has fought cancer and is now back on the field playing cricket. He is a hero and he really has overcome so much. He is a human being with inspiration. He is also focusing on how to help people who are battling cancer. He was fortunate enough to have a mother like that. She is his pillar in its truest sense. I know people call him a mamma's boy but she has been devoted to him at the time of cancer.

As you yourself said that Yuvraj is busier now, how do you get to spend time then?

It depends on him and I am very patient with him. As soon he finishes matches, he gets to the hotel room around 2 AM and then only we have dinner. It's difficult to have a structured routine. I am very happy. We just enjoy each other's company and we are kind of kiddish that way.

Was it difficult to adjust in Yuvraj's family?

It wasn't difficult at all. My mum is in Indian and dad is English, but I have been accustomed to the Indian culture. I know nothing of Punjabi language though (laughs). I have adjusted completely as Yuvraj's mom is very liberal and she completely understands. Their Babaji is someone who is a saint in the form of a grandfather. It might sound strange as I have been raised in England, but Babaji is always around when you need his guidance.
