Lahore: TikToker Kashaf Ali has denied rumours of dating Pakistan cricket team’s opener, Saim Ayub, calling them baseless.
A video of Kashaf Ali has gone viral on social media, where she dismissed the speculation. She expressed frustration, saying, “It’s strange that our country has so many social issues to discuss, but instead, the media focuses on baseless rumours, and people believe them.” She further added, “Just one video, and you turned it into a controversy, even though it was just a normal video.”
Earlier, a video of Kashaf Ali and Saim Ayub at a restaurant went viral, sparking curiosity among fans about their relationship. The speculation grew as social media users started linking them together.
However, Saim Ayub is currently in the UK for injury treatment. The 22-year-old cricketer received unnecessary attention after videos of him with Kashaf surfaced. Many social media users suggested that Saim should focus on his career and recovery instead of engaging in off-field controversies.
The viral video also left some of Saim’s fans disappointed. Some netizens even compared him to former cricketer Asif Ali, who faced criticism for his off-field activities. Social media users mocked Saim, jokingly saying he is “hosting his own Champions Trophy” in the UK.
It is also worth noting that during his stay in London, Saim Ayub was spotted meeting Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, further fuelling social media discussions.
