Do media survive in controversies? The recent marriage controversies regarding Smriti Mandhana and Palash Muchhal may have somehow established the fact. However, the World Cup-winning all-rounder Yuvraj Singh added more substance to it. Yuvraj Singh has attended the podcast 'Serving it Up with Sania' with famous tennis star Sania Mirza, where he unzipped the old controversy of meeting with a lady in the middle of a match. There were claims that Singh hugged the "girl" in the middle of a match after meeting her. In the podcast with Sania Mirza, Singh clarified that he was meeting with his newly appointed manager. And the hug was merely a departure hug. Yuvi said, "I had an agent, somebody whom I had just started working with. I had given her a hug. Just when you meet someone, you give them a hug, and they kind of turned it around that I'm meeting a girl during match time." Speaking about the media reactions, Singh took a dig that he is used to the media speculations. That the media loves controversies to make it readable makes the space more negative than usual. "It's part of the life we live. If the media doesn't make controversial or negative comments, they feel people are not going to read. I feel there's much more negativity out there than positivity. I feel there should be more positive stories."
