Yograj Singh, the former Indian cricketer and father of Yuvraj Singh, has recently opened up about the profound loneliness and emotional struggles he is currently facing. In a candid interview, the 62-year-old revealed that he feels ready to die and has nothing left to experience in life. Singh's revelations have sparked concern and debate across social media, highlighting the complexities of family bonds.
Singh described his current life as solitary, stating that he spends his evenings alone in his hometown. He revealed that he relies on the kindness of strangers for food, as he has no one at home to provide for him. "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," he said. Despite having had house help and cooks in the past, they have since moved on, leaving him to fend for himself.
The former cricketer expressed his love for his mother, children, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, but emphasized that he does not ask anything of them. "I love my mother, kids, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, everyone in the family. But, I don't ask for anything," he stated. He has accepted his fate and is prepared for whatever God has in store for him. "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," Singh added.
Singh identified the moment when his first wife, Shabnam Kaur, and son, Yuvraj Singh, left him as the biggest shock of his life. He questioned why the people he loved kept leaving him, expressing a sense of helplessness. "When things came at a point where Yuvi and his mother left me, it gave me the biggest shock," he said. He acknowledged that he may have made mistakes but insisted that he never intended to harm anyone.
The emotional turmoil led him to question his purpose and feel a sense of abandonment. He turned to God, seeking answers and solace. "I asked God why all of this was happening when I did everything right by everyone...I cried in front of God, he took me out of that sea," he recounted. While cricket and cinema provided temporary distractions, they could not fill the void left by his family.
Despite the hardships, Singh continues to work as a coach in Punjab, staying connected to the game he loves. He has remarried and has other children, but they have also moved away, leaving him in a solitary life. Although he feels lonely, he remains grateful for the opportunities he has had and has accepted his circumstances, finding solace in prayer.
