Pakistani cricketer Imad Wasim is once again making headlines—not for his skills on the pitch, but for issues tied to his personal life. The 36-year-old all-rounder recently announced his second retirement from international cricket, but it’s his marriage with Sania Ashfaq that’s now under intense public scrutiny, especially after the birth of their third child.
The buzz began when Sania Ashfaq posted an emotional message on social media to announce the arrival of their newborn son. What caught attention was that she made no mention of Imad Wasim in the heartfelt caption. She wrote, “I carried you alone in my womb for nine months. May Allah give me strength for the journey ahead, Zayaan.”
This absence of Imad’s name did not go unnoticed by followers. A relative’s encouraging repost and comments from fans offering “strength” rather than congratulations added fuel to the rumors that the couple might be facing a marital crisis.
To further stir speculation, social media users pointed out that Sania updated her Instagram bio, removing any reference to being Imad’s wife. It now reads, “Mama of Anaya Imad and Rayan Imad.” Moreover, she has reportedly deleted all photos with Imad, although he still features pictures of them on his account. Interestingly, the two are still following each other.
Whispers around Imad Wasim’s alleged affair with model Naila Raja have intensified the controversy. A video surfaced online showing Imad walking beside a woman in the UK. While the woman’s face isn’t clear, many netizens claim she is Naila Raja, a social media influencer.
The speculation has sparked backlash online, with fans expressing their disappointment. Some have even accused Imad of “betrayal.” One user commented, “Imad is following in Shoaib Malik’s footsteps,” referencing another famous cricketer’s highly publicized split.
This isn’t the first time Imad Wasim’s private life has faced public exposure. In the past, he was rumored to have ties with an Afghan woman, and those photos also went viral.
So far, both Imad and Sania have remained silent amid the storm, leaving fans to continue watching their social media moves for any clues or confirmation.
