Cricket legend Wasim Akram marked a major milestone as he officially hit the big six-zero. His wife Shaniera made sure the occasion was marked with love, nostalgia, and a touch of cross-border love.

Taking to Instagram, Shaniera posted a series of pictures, sharing warm moments that captured the fast bowler surrounded by his loved ones and adoring fans. In a heartfelt caption, Shaniera penned an affectionate message celebrating Akram.

Fans rushed to flood the comments section with prayers, admiration, and birthday wishes for Akram.

The celebration also extended cross-border when Shaniera recognised that a digital barrier was preventing thousands of well-wishers from reaching out. She stepped in to bridge the gap, addressing the "wonderful people of India" who wanted to wish Akram on his birthday but were unable to do so because his account is currently blocked in the country.

Through her post, Shaniera made sure to make known that Akram has not forgotten the hospitality, kindness, and respect extended to him and his family over the years, closing with the poignant reminder that "India and its people hold a very special place in his heart and always will."
