All-rounder cricketer Shadab Khan kicked off his wedding festivities with close-knit mehndi ceremony last night. A glimpse of intimate event was shared on social media by fellow cricketer and friend Hassan Ali’s wife Samiya Khan.

In video circulating on Instagram, Shadab can be seen sitting on stage, wearing heavily embroidered, deep green sherwani. As video progresses, Samiya makes groom wear garland, while he smiles and looks towards camera.

It looks like it is season for Pakistani cricketers to get married! Just last week, Shaheen Shah Afridi tied knot in an intimate nikah ceremony with ace cricketer Shahid Afridi’s daughter Ansha Shahid.

Prior to this, Shadab also announced his nikkah last month by revealing that he had “joined mentor Saqi Bhai’s family.”

In statement, Shadab added, “When I started playing cricket, I wanted to keep my family life separate, my family has also opted to stay out of public light. My wife has asked for same, she wants her life to remain private. I would kindly request everyone to respect her choice and our family’s choice.” He then joked, “However, if you want to send Salami, I will send an account number.”
