The wedding festivities of Pakistan’s key fast bowler, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and the daughter of veteran cricketer Shahid Afridi, Ansha Shahid Afridi, have kicked off with great enthusiasm.
The pre-wedding celebrations began with an intimate mehndi gathering at the Afridi residence in Karachi. The couple will officially tie the knot, and Shaheen Shah Afridi will bring his bride home.
Shahid Afridi, the legendary cricketer and father of the bride, hosted a private dinner at his house on Monday night. This gathering brought together both families to celebrate the upcoming wedding.
Videos and pictures from these events have gone viral on social media. They have built anticipation among fans to see their favorite cricketer and his wife in their wedding attire.
Earlier this month, the wedding invitations of the couple became a sensation on social media, confirming that Ansha’s rukhsati (the bride’s departure from her parents’ home) would take place in Karachi on September 19 (tonight), while Shaheen’s family would host the Walima reception in the capital on September 21.
For those unfamiliar with their love story, the left-arm fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi got engaged to Ansha Shahid Afridi, the second eldest daughter of former cricket team captain Shahid Afridi, in 2021. The couple had their nikkah in a private affair in February of the same year, attended by close friends, family, and teammates.
