ISLAMABAD: Former cricket captain, Shahid Afridi, has revealed some details about the upcoming wedding festivities of fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi.
In an interview with a private news channel, Shahid disclosed that Shaheen’s wedding celebrations would begin in September of this year.
When asked about his own marriage, Shahid revealed that he got married at a young age and has decided the same for Shaheen and his daughter, Ansha Afridi.
“Should I tell them the month?” Shahid jokingly asked Shaheen before making the announcement.
Shaheen and Ansha tied the knot earlier this year in a simple nikkah ceremony according to the Afridi tribal traditions.
Speaking to a local news channel, Shaheen shared that he was the one who first thought of marrying Ansha. “It was my marriage, so it was me who thought about marrying Ansha. My beloved mother went ahead with the rishta (proposal), and both families agreed,” Shaheen said shyly.

When asked about where they first met, Shaheen couldn’t pinpoint a particular moment since they had known each other for a while.
“There wasn’t a proper first meet-up as such. We used to go to each other’s houses. Whenever they’d come to our house so, I’d see her around, and then we met at our Nikah,” he shared.
Shaheen also revealed that Ansha is a fan of his bowling but often encourages him to bat as well on the ground.
“They say that you should always have a life partner that appreciates you, and thank God I have that. She doesn’t get involved much but has always supported me,” Shaheen added.
Fans have eagerly been awaiting the wedding celebrations of the young couple, and with Shahid’s recent reveal of the September date, excitement is sure to grow.
