New Delhi. For Ajay Jadeja, the most handsome and stylish player of Indian cricket in the 90s, that period was no less than a roller-coaster ride. As much as his captaincy and batting on the field were discussed, off the field his relationship with Bollywood's biggest superstar Madhuri Dixit made more headlines. Jadeja was the 'poster boy' of the Indian team at that time. Girls were impressed by his smile and fitness. Meanwhile, a magazine photoshoot brought Madhuri Dixit into Jadeja's life. Jadeja belonged to a prestigious royal family of Jamnagar. He became convinced of Madhuri's simplicity and beauty. According to the report, Jadeja was so serious at that time that he had started dreaming of his future with Madhuri. There was even talk that due to Madhuri's influence, Jadeja wanted to leave cricket and try his luck in films.
This journey was not easy for Ajay Jadeja. His royal family did not like his relationship with a film actress. On one hand, there was family pressure, and on the other hand, the match-fixing storm that hit the cricket world in the early 2000s shook Jadeja's reputation. Along with Mohammad Azharuddin, Jadeja was also accused and BCCI banned him for 5 years. This one incident destroyed both Jadeja's career and his personal life.

When Jadeja was accused of fixing, Madhuri's family also withdrew from this relationship. The image of a shining cricketer suddenly became 'tainted'. In the year 2003, the court lifted the ban on her, but by then Madhuri Dixit had married Dr. Nene and gone to America. That period was very difficult for Jadeja, where he not only lost his game but also lost his love forever.

The love between Ajay Jadeja and Madhuri Dixit was immense, but fate had something else in store. The dark shadow of 'match fixing' not only ruined a shining career but also strangulated a beautiful love story. Today both are happy in their respective lives, but this page in the history of cricket and cinema will always remain 'incomplete'.
