Shahid Afridi is a famous cricket all-rounder who has been part of the Pakistani cricket team for many years. He is admired for his aggressive batting and sharp leg-spin bowling across all formats. He made his debut for Pakistan with a world-record-breaking 37-ball century against Sri Lanka in 1996. Another highlight of his career was his 6 wickets for 38 runs against Australia in 2010, which earned him the Best ODI Bowling Performance award and a key victory for Pakistan.
Shahid Afridi is happily married and a proud father of five daughters. Recently, he embraced a new role as a grandfather after his two eldest daughters welcomed a son and a daughter.
Recently, Shahid Afridi was spotted abroad, where a young fan couple met him and had a brief chat. The young wife praised Afridi’s looks and said, “You are really very handsome in real life — very good-looking, very smart,” to which he instantly responded, “Beta, you are saying this to a grandfather!” Watch Here:
Social media users have shared mixed reactions, with many criticizing the girl for her overly enthusiastic display of emotions. One fan wrote, “Why do people embarrass themselves like that? You meet your favorite celebrity, who’s your dad’s age, and this is what you say. Cringe!” Another commented, “He responded exactly how a husband and father should. The girl should have stayed within her limits.” A few others said that the girl was just expressing her love for Shahid Afridi as a cricketer and that it should not be taken the wrong way. “Forget it, guys. It was just her fan moment with him,” one user stated. Another wrote, “Cute! I love the way she said it. I’m surprised at the comments. Also, he’s very decent; this response from him was expected.” One fan added that Shahid Afridi could have responded more casually, without embarrassing her, as she clearly admires him, while he is a husband and father.
