Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi and Sharmila Tagore
For that final spot on our list, we had a few names, but we decided to roll back the clock. Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi, also known as Tiger Pataudi, is one of the legendary names in Indian cricket. He was the youngest cricketer to captain India in Test cricket. In an unfortunate accident, his eyes got damaged and everyone thought his cricketing career was done, but Tiger Pataudi was back in the nets playing with one eye within 6 months from the date of the incident.
Tiger Pataudi met then-Bollywood actress Sharmila Tagore. The two spent some time together and finally, in 1968, announced their wedding. In spite of facing opposition from their own families and friends, the marriage went smoothly, and the couple had three children.
