My daughters are not on social media: Shahid Afridi on Ansha's fake Twitter accounts

Pakistan cricket team's ace bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi and Ansha Afridi, daughter of cricket legend Shahid Afridi, tied the knot on Friday. The couple got married in an intimate nikkah ceremony while the reception is scheduled at a later date. Despite repeated requests from the families, pictures of the newlyweds from their private ceremony were leaked on social media. 

Since then, many accounts impersonating the bride went viral on Twitter. Shahid has now clarified that these are fake accounts. Taking to his Instagram story, the all-rounder shared, "This is to confirm that my daughters are not on social media and accounts impersonating them are fake and should be reported, thanks."

Previously, Shaheen took to social media and called out fans who shared pictures of Ansha and him from their nikkah. While expressing gratitude for the love he's received, the 22-year-old cricketer shared, "Alhumdulillah, the Almighty has been very kind and generous. May we always remain as a garment to each other.  Thank you everyone for the well wishes and for making our special day even better. Remember us in your special prayers."

He then went on to add, "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 cooperate with us and not try to spoil our memorable big day."

On Saturday, Shahid took to Instagram to share pictures from his daughter's wedding and penned an emotional note.

Daughter is the most beautiful flower of your garden because they blossom with great blessing. A daughter is someone you laugh with, dream with, and love with all your heart. As parent, I gave my daughter in Nikkah to @iShaheenAfridi, congratulations to the two of them😘 pic.twitter.com/ppjcLllk8r
