‘Despite many requests our privacy was hurt; don’t spoil our memorable big day’ - Shaheen Afridi slams fans for invading privacy

Pakistan ace pacer, Shaheen Shah Afridi, tied the knot with former cricketer Shahid Afridi's daughter, Ansha Afridi, on Saturday. The grand celebration was attended by many former cricketers and current cricketers, including Pakistan skipper, Babar Azam, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shadab Khan. 

Now, even though Shaheen is reported to be very happy with how the ceremony unfolded, the 22-year-old was disappointed to see his wedding pictures go viral on social media. He took to Twitter to express his disappointment and stated that despite many requests not to invade their privacy, netizens didn’t listen to him and kept on sharing images from his wedding across platforms.

“It's very disappointing that despite many and repeated requests, our privacy was hurt and people kept on sharing it further without any guilt. I would like to humbly request everyone again to kindly coordinate with us and not try to spoil our memorable big day,” the cricketer wrote on Twitter.
