On Sunday, renowned actor and television host, Fahad Mustafa shared a laid back photo on his Instagram with former captain of the Pakistan national cricket team in all three formats, Babar Azam. The post, which quickly gained traction among fans, featured a warm picture of the two, accompanied by a caption that highlighted their mutual admiration and respect: "King, always a pleasure to see you."

In the picture, Fahad leans against the wall, dressed in a laid back bush shirt and track pants while Babar wears a summery shirt and his signature gelled back hairstyle. From the smiling looks on their faces, we can only speculate that they've had a great time together.

Of course, fans were thrilled to see the two together once again, with many flooding the comments section of Fahad's post with messages of appreciation. "Two beautiful humans," exclaimed an internet user, while others dubbed them to be "two legends in one frame". .

This is not the first time the two celebrated public figures have been seen in each other's company. In December 2021, Babar visited Fahad's residence, where he gifted a signed cricket bat to his son, Moosa. The heartfelt moment, which was captured on video, showed the young boy beaming with joy as he received the special token from Pakistan's cricketing superstar. The clip quickly went viral, drawing praise from fans of both personalities.

And it seems to us that their bond extends beyond personal visits because they both have openly supported and praised each other's work in their respective fields. In July 2022, Babar took to social media to praise Fahad's film Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad, lauding the actor's performance, congratulating the entire team on the project and showing his appreciation for Pakistani cinema. A poster of the film can also be seen next to Babar in the recently posted photo on Fahad's Instagram. In turn, Fahad has always been vocal about his admiration for Babar's contributions to cricket, often cheering for the national team.

In December, Fahad made history by becoming the first Pakistani actor to receive an award from both Houses of Parliament in the UK. At a ceremony organised by Multicultural Britain, Fahad was presented with the Diversity and Cultural Impact Award in the House of Commons by British MP Naz Shah, and received the Global Cultural Unity Award in the House of Lords from British Minister Lord Wajid Khan.
