Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi joyfully announced on Tuesday that he has become a grandfather for the second time, as his eldest daughter Aqsa welcomed a baby girl.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Afridi expressed his gratitude, writing:
“Alhamdulilah, Allah has blessed Aqsa and Naseer with beautiful Ayra. Daughters are the most precious reflection of His mercy and the most precious blessing. Keep us in your prayers.”
The couple named their newborn daughter Ayra. Aqsa and Naseer Nasir had tied the knot on December 30 last year in an intimate nikah ceremony in Karachi.
The wedding was a family affair, attended by close relatives and friends, including Shaheen Shah Afridi, the renowned fast bowler, who is married to another of Afridi’s daughters. Videos from the ceremony revealed the warmth and love shared by the close-knit family.
Known for his philanthropic work and devout faith, Shahid Afridi consistently emphasizes the importance of family. He considers daughters a divine blessing, often highlighting their significance in his life.
