Cricket stars and entertainment personalities on the cub continent are often linked. While cricket is the most popular sport in the subcontinent, entertainment personalities are known to work in cross-border projects. The stars from both fields make for an interesting combination. In the past and present, several cricketers were and are married to actors. Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma are a good example. However, Pakistani actor Nawal Saeed, who has over a million followers on Instagram, made an interesting comment about cricketers.
On a talk show, she was asked if she received messages from cricketers.
“Did a cricketer message you?” the anchor asked the actor Green TV entertainment.
“Aapko kiu lagta hai, single grindstone zaroori hai (Why do you think it is necessary for someone to be single)?” the actor replied. “I am not going to talk about that (incident regarding cricketer’s messages).”
Then a series of names, from Naseem Shah to Shoaib Malik, were taken by the anchor, to which Nawal Saeed just kept smiling. She then referred to a previous show she did where she talked about cricketers sending her messages. “The show was recorded during the World Cup. People thought I said it to get some publicity out of it. But that wasn’t the case. I told the truth. I shouldn’t have said that. People can message you, it is good.” she said.
“Mujhe sir, u lagta hai kicricketers shouldn’t do something like that. Log in with actors logging in cricket players/sportsman ko idolize karte hai (I don’t think cricketers should do that because people idolize them even more than actors),” Nawal added.
25-year-old Nawal Saeed started her career in television. Since 2022, she has also worked in films.
