Model-actress turned home-maker Sangeeta Bijlani’s marriage is on the rocks as her husband, famous ex-cricketer Azharuddin is supposed to be steaming up thing with a girl half his age, badminton player Jwala. The news surfaced after a popular tabloid brought this news in the open. The newspaper even reported that Mohammad Azharuddin and Sangeeta Bijlani’s 14-year-old marriage is over. A high placed source has even stated that Azhar will be filing for divorce this week. The badminton player Jwala is the reason for the split.

Jwala Gutta (26), World No 7 mixed doubles player, at present married to Arjuna Award-winner badminton champ Chetan Anand, is reportedly stated to be involved with the 47-year-old former India skipper and Congress MP from Moradabad. He is said to be so charmed with her that he has gifted her a BMW that she rides around Hyderabad. This definitely raises suspicions because mixed doubles badminton players are not rich enough to own a BMW. “Whenever he is in Hyderabad, he is seen in Pullela Gopichand’s academy where Jwala practises and they both leave together. They head to some hotel but I am not sure if they stay together in the same room,” said a highly-placed source from the Andhra Pradesh Badminton Association. “Jwala and her husband are not staying together at the moment and are even practicing separately,” he added.

Azhar was also seen at the Asian Badminton Championship in Delhi recently and the couple have even been watching matches together. Badminton officials have stated that Azhar was showing interest in fighting the Badminton Association of India (BAI) elections, just for Jwala, and not to bring about professionalism and transparency in the sport. Azhar was first married to wife Naureen,for eight years, after which he dated Sangeeta. The divorce has cost him a couple of bungalows in Hyderabad’s sprawling Banjara Hils, two BMWs and a couple of lakhs. Naureen went on marry Canada based businessman. Azhar then married Sangeeta Bijlani and they were in the matrimonial bond for 14 years ever since.

Sangeeta met Azhar at a photo-shoot where they modeled together for an ad in 1993. He started seeing her and then on 1996, they got married. Though Sangeeta has been unavailable for comment, Jwala’s manager quotedr “You can write whatever you want, but it’s neither a yes nor a no,” Azhar said “All these are rumours.” But there is news that Sangeeta is staying in Mumbai while her husband is in Hyderabad. Chetan Anand, Jwala’s husband said, “I don’t want to comment anything. It is a personal issue. The media has no right to get into personal matters.” He then disconnected the phone.
