Not only did he apologise to everybody that he has wronged in his life, he did so through tears. In an interview, Yograj admitted that he has made many mistakes in his life, and begged forgiveness of Yuvraj and his first wife; they both left when Yuvraj was 17 and hadn\u2019t yet made his India debut. In past interviews, Yograj said that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/yuvraj-singh-father-yograj-kept-kept-wife-shabnam-under-lock-and-key-10298989\/\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he imposed strict restrictions upon his first wife<\/a><\/strong> in the years when he was training Yuvraj to become a cricketing legend.<\/p>\n<p>Appearing on the Fivewood Podcast, Yograj said that he had a near-death experience some months ago, and his survival was a miracle. He said that he felt a sharp pain in his stomach, after which he rushed to the hospital. There, after getting a few tests done, he was told that he would have to be operated on and that the chances of his survival were slim. The experience changed something within him, and after declaring numerous times that he has no regrets in life, and that he would put Yuvraj through the same abuse if given another opportunity to raise him, Yograj admitted that he has behaved poorly in the past. He said that all he can wish for now is to be granted \u2018moksha\u2019 from this life.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"lazyloading\" decoding=\"async\" data-lazy-type=\"lazyloading-image\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/track_1x1.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/track_1x1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" style=\"display:none;\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Also read \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/yograj-singh-was-in-jail-when-son-yuvraj-singh-made-india-debut-10300950\/\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yograj Singh was in jail when Yuvraj Singh made India debut: \u2018We didn\u2019t see each other for years after he left my house with his mother\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Story continues below this ad<\/p>\n<p>Asked if he has regrets, he said, \u201cToo many. Everything I did was because it had come down to my self-respect and my family. I have deleted most of those memories, because that\u2019s what Guru told me to do. But I beg forgiveness with folded hands. I request anybody that I\u2019ve harmed, be it an outsider or someone from my own family, to forgive me. I ask forgiveness of my children, my wife, Yuvi\u2019s mother, and everybody else. It was all my fault. If I\u2019ve ever spoken ill about any friend, any competitor, be it in cricket or films, I am sorry. I have no qualities; I only have flaws. I have not done a single decent thing in life.\u201d He said that can\u2019t even dream of repeating the mistakes that he has made in his life. \u201cI sleep soundly. I don\u2019t need any pills. When I die, I want Guru to be proud of me,\u201d he said, adding that he calls his ex-wife and his current wife \u2018Mata\u2019, and that he sees \u2018Gurus\u2019 in his sons.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview on the Highbrow Studios YouTube channel, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/entertainment\/bollywood\/yuvraj-singhs-dad-yograj-singh-says-his-children-dont-talk-to-him-maintain-distance-i-have-never-missed-them-10296487\/\" class=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yograj said that he is essentially estranged from his entire family<\/a><\/strong>, and that he doesn\u2019t miss any of them.

Appearing on Ranveer Allahbadia\u2019s podcast, Yuvraj admitted that he is afraid that his father could force Orion to play cricket, and that he doesn\u2019t want to repeat the mistakes that his dad made.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor and former cricketer Yograj Singh, who has said in several interviews that he has no regrets in&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499450,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4101],"tags":[1406,79,16,15,77364,163971,163968,163970,163969,77365],"class_list":{"0":"post-499449","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cricket","8":"tag-cricket","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-yograj-singh","13":"tag-yograj-singh-first-wife","14":"tag-yograj-singh-son","15":"tag-yograj-singh-wife","16":"tag-yograj-singh-yuvraj-singh","17":"tag-yuvraj-singh"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115373939773532434","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
