Wasim Akram’s Wife Sends a Special Marriage Anniversary Wish for the Pakistan Legend – News18

Legendary Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram and his wife Shaniera celebrated their 11th marriage anniversary on Monday, August 19. On the special occasion, the couple shared heartfelt notes on social media, expressing their love and affection for each other. Shaniera dropped a funny picture of Akram on X (formerly Twitter) where the former pacer was captured in the avatar of an old man. The photograph was probably clicked during a promotional shoot. Akram wore a pair of round glasses and his real hair was covered with prosthetic makeup. He had donned a blue and green t-shirt, reminiscent of a cricket jersey.

“Happy Anniversary my baby, Wasim Akram – Thank you for everything you are and everything you give to my life, you are my world and 11 years on you look as good as the day I met you, you haven’t changed a bit,” Shaniera wrote in her post.
