Social media buzz: Imad Wasim's wife posts cryptic Instagram post amid rumours of his affair with Naila Raja
Sannia Afshaq, wife of Pakistan cricket Imad Wasim. (Instagram) Former Pakistan cricketer Imad Wasim 's personal life has become the centre of controversy after his wife Sannia Ashfaq posted a mysterious message on Instagram. The post comes amid rumours of Wasim's alleged relationship with social media influencer Naila Raja, though Raja has strongly denied these claims. Sannia's recent Instagram post has sparked intense discussions in Pakistan cricket circles. She wrote, "Silence should not be considered as consent or lack of evidence. I am just choosing the right time after thinking carefully." This cryptic message has led to widespread speculation about trouble in their marriage. Adding fuel to the situation, Sannia had earlier made another telling social media post announcing the birth of their third child, Zayan. Notably, she left out any mention of Imad Wasim in the announcement. Her caption read: "I carried you alone in my womb for 9 months. May God give me more strength for the journey ahead, Zayan." Meanwhile, social media personality Naila Raja has stepped forward to address the rumours. She has dismissed all allegations of an affair with the former Pakistan all-rounder as completely baseless and misleading.
