Shaniera and Wasim's love story has been nothing short of a fairy tale. Their paths crossed in the most unexpected way, transcending borders and cultural differences. Shaniera, an Australian social worker, and Wasim, a cricketing legend from Pakistan, found love amidst diverse backgrounds, proving that love knows no boundaries.

Wasim and Shaniera’s love story began in 2011 when the couple first crossed paths at a friend's barbeque in Melbourne. Wasim, a cricketing legend in Pakistan, shared the amusing anecdote of how Shaniera was initially unaware of his fame. "I met her at a friend's BBQ in Melbourne. She didn't know who I was… Eventually, I told her that I was kind of a big deal in Pakistan," he revealed last year on Time Out with Ahsan Khan.

For Shaniera, marrying someone from a different culture and background was a life-changing decision. "You don't marry someone from overseas, from a different culture, background, and generation unless it's something magnificent, right?" she said. The couple's long-distance relationship demanded communication via phone, which allowed them to build a strong friendship before taking their relationship further.

Over the years, Shaniera embraced Pakistan as her home. "Now, for me, Pakistan is the centre of the world. It's an incredible place. I've grown here as a person, as a woman, as a mother, as a wife, and the most important years of my life have been here," she had said on the talk show. The couple also made their acting debut together in Money Back Guarantee this year.

Shaniera and Wasim tied the knot in 2013 in Lahore and have a daughter together, as well as two sons from Wasim’s previous marriage.
