Pakistani singer-actor, Meesha Shafi, denied the reports of her wish to date Pakistani skipper, Babar Azam.
In an Instagram post, Shafi denied the baseless claims associated with her last week. An Instagram fan page of Azam had claimed in a post that Shafi has expressed her fondness for the cricket and that she is eager to date him.
“I always stick to the television when he is batting, and when he gets out, I switch my television off,” the post read, adding, “I would love to date him, I just love him.”
Later the singer took to Instagram and said, “I have no idea who this is and why it exists.” She added, “It makes zero sense, 100% concocted out of thin air. This quote is fabricated.” She also tagged Instagram and asked them to take down the post.
