New Delhi. We are talking about Mohsin Khan, who has always been famous for his style on field and off field. Opener Mohsin had scored 2 consecutive centuries for Pakistan in Australia. Famous actress Reena Roy of yesteryears was also fond of him. Mohsin also lost his heart in the first meeting with Reena and decided to marry her. After marriage, Mohsin said goodbye to his cricket career and set out to become an actor in Bollywood.
