Star Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan appears to have opened a can of worms as he went on a popular TV chat show and made some explosive claims. The Pakistan leg-spinner opened up on cricketers ‘texting’ popular Pakistani actress.
On a show titled ‘Hasna Mana Hai’, Shadab Khan says there is nothing wrong in Pakistan cricketers texting actresses and questioned ‘what is wrong with that?’
“Most female actors claim that cricketers send messages to them on social media, so have you ever messaged any actors?” asked a fan during a ‘Hasna Mana Hai’ show on Geo News. “Even if cricketers send messages, what is wrong with that?” Shadab Khan replied.

“Everybody has the option to block so if you don’t like then don’t reply, however, there are also replies from actors and they appear to show interest as well — as if they want to talk,” he added.
The 26-year-old Pakistan all-rounder in the show also revealed that the cricketers do have discussions among themselves about who has texted the actors, often boasting about it.
“We have seen some videos in which things are exaggerated but it doesn’t turn out like that, some actors do it for fame, like during a tournament or World Cup such things come out because everyone is keeping their eyes on it,” Shadab added.
Last year Pakistan Tik Tok star Shahtaj Khan said Shadab would talk to her on Whatsapp and Instagram and she proposed to marry him. The all-rounder has been married to Malaika for more than two years who is the daughter of veteran cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq. However, Shahtaj claims that she was unaware of Shadab’s marriage.
“I was disheartened after he got married, which I believe is quite normal when your crush marries someone else. I was talking to him even at that time but had no idea that he was about to get married,” she had said, adding that the Pakistan team’s all-rounder was well aware of his feelings as well,” Shahtaj had said.
Another actress Nawal Saeed to claimed that some of the Pakistan cricketers send her messages. Shadab’s former teammate Shoaib Malik recently divorced Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza and got married to Pakistan TV star Sana Javed last year. The couple celebrated their first marriage anniversary some time back.
