Everyone knows Yuvraj Singh the cricketer, who's most remembered for hitting English bowler Stuart Broad for 6 sixes in a single over during an IPL match. But did you know that Yuvraj once used to be an actor, long before he started to wield the cricket bat?

Yuvraj recently tied the knot with model-turned-actress Hazel Keech, who's acted in a number of Bollywood films.

It was way back in 1992, when Yuvraj made his acting debut in a Punjabi film titled, `Mehndi Shangna Di'. Although just 11-years old at that time, Yuvi gave a striking performance as a child artist. And had he perused his acting career, it seems he would have been giving wife Hazel tough competition today.

The movie also starred Yuvraj's father Yograj Singh in a prominent role. The particular scene involving Yuvraj shows him as a child who wins a medal for his athletics performance in school. The small cameo role was Yurvraj's first and last performance as an actor. The film directed by famous Punjabi film actress Priti Sapru also starred several prominent singers and actors from the Punjabi film industry.
