Shadab Khan, Pakistan's star all-rounder recently made news when he stated that cricketers message actresses on social media.
Recently, he appeared on Geo News' widely watched show Hasna Mana Hai and asked about the blatant claims made by female actors that cricketers text them on Instagram.
Shadab Khan defends cricketers’ social media interactions
In response to a fan’s question—“Most female actors claim that cricketers send messages to them on social media, so have you ever messaged any actors?”—Shadab defended his fellow players and shifted some responsibility onto the actresses themselves.
“Even if cricketers send messages, what is wrong with that? Everybody has the option to block, so if you don’t like it, 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 explained.
Shadab's comments have sparked discussions among fans and media, with some supporting his stance while others arguing that public figures should be more cautious with their interactions. The debate highlights the ongoing scrutiny of cricketers' personal lives, especially in the age of social media.
Shadab Khan’s viral TikTok proposal in 2024
Shadab Khan's name has been in the news of social media interactions earlier too. This year, in 2024, he made headlines after being proposed to be married on TikTok by social influencer Shahtaj Khan. However, according to reports, Shahtaj was disappointed when she came to know that Shadab was already a married man. The cricketer has been married to Saqlain Mushtaq's daughter for the last two years.
Shadab later denied the claims of the TikTok proposal, saying that no such proposal had ever reached him. His recent comments on Geo News have once again brought the spotlight on the social media activities of cricketers, leaving fans curious about which actresses he was referring to when he acknowledged that cricketers do send messages.
As the controversy prevails, Shadab Khan is keenly focusing on cricket and getting ready to play for Pakistan in their games. His statement brought a new debate onto the floor for celebrity interactions, privacy, personal boundaries, and social etiquette of high profile celebrities in a digital world.
