Indian actor and model Sonam Bajwa, celebrated for her open appreciation of Pakistani talent, once again grabbed headlines for her admiration of cross-border celebrities.
This time, she took to her Instagram Story to share a heartwarming moment featuring Pakistani cricketer Naseem Shah.
In the viral video clip, Naseem Shah, Pakistan’s gifted fast bowler, is captured comforting a young fan during what appears to be a meet-and-greet session.
Approaching the tearful child, Shah offers reassurance, saying, “Don’t cry,” before delighting him with an autograph. In a playful exchange, Shah adds, “I can also give Babar Azam’s autograph,” referring to Pakistan’s cricket sensation, as he signs for the young admirer.
Moved by Shah’s compassionate gesture, Sonam Bajwa shared the reel on her Instagram Story, describing it as “so wholesome and cute,” accompanied by a white heart emoji.
Bajwa’s appreciation for Shah’s kindness has resonated with fans and media outlets across borders, underscoring the unifying power of sportsmanship.
Bajwa’s admiration for Pakistani celebrities is not new, as she has openly expressed her crush on heartthrob Fawad Khan in the past. Her recent declaration of Fawad as her “forever crush” further solidifies her appreciation for talent across borders.
Despite light-hearted suggestions regarding Fawad being Punjab’s prospective son-in-law, Bajwa’s affection for the actor remains steadfast.
Fawad Khan, acclaimed for his roles in films like “Kapoor & Sons,” “Ae Dil Hai Mushkil,” and “Khoobsurat,” has garnered a significant fan following in India, with Bajwa being among his devoted admirers.
Reflecting on her enduring admiration for Fawad, Bajwa fondly recalls her crush dating back to 2022, emphasizing her lasting fascination with the actor.
