Congratulations to the family!

Earlier on Friday, the e-invite for the ceremony surfaced on the internet that featured the couple in white and yellow-themed clothes and revealed their Nikkah date. The year may be ending but the wedding galore is far from over.

Previously, the news of Shaheen’s wedding with Shahid’s second daughter Ansha surfaced as the details were finalised.

A source close to the Afridi family confirmed that the nikah ceremony of Shaheen and Ansha will be held in Karachi on February 3, before the next season of the Pakistan Super League starts. The source also revealed that the rest of the events will be held sometime later.

Last year, Shahid addressed reports talking about the union between the fast bowler and his daughter, and tweeted, “Shaheen’s family approached my family for my daughter. Both families are in touch […] matches are made in heaven, if Allah wills this match will be made too.” He ended his tweet with prayers for Shaheen “for his continued success on and off the field”.

Sports journalist Ihtisham ul Haq had also shared the news of the union “with permission from both families”. “The proposal has been accepted; it is thought that a formal engagement will be done within two years, following the completion of her education,” Haq said.
