  • Fiancee Hazel Keech Alleges 'Racial Discrimination’, Yuvraj Singh Furious
Cricketer Yuvraj Singh was left fuming on Tuesday when his fiancee and actress Hazel Keech was denied money by Western Union Money Transfer on the grounds that her name didn't sound Hindu enough.
 
Reacting to this ridiculous behaviour, Hazel tweeted, "Mr Peeyush Sharma @WesternUnion in Jaipur is the most racist person ive met and refused to give money because my name is not "Hindu" enough."
 
"Im sickened by the attitude of these people,in front of my HINDU mother + my muslim friend," she added further.
 
Soon, the left-handed batting star joined his fiancee to raise his voice against this 'racial discrimination.'
 
Yuvraj got engaged to Keech in November last year.
 
The 34-year-old Punjab batsman has played 40 Tests and 293 One Day Internationals for India. He was the Man-of-the-Series in India's victorious 2011 World Cup campaign.
