Shaheen Afridi Melts Hearts With Adorable Video of Son Aliyaar’s First Steps
Pakistan’s fast bowling ace Shaheen Shah Afridi just bowled over the internet, not with a cricket ball, but with an emotional family moment. In a candid Instagram post, the proud father shared a video of his baby boy, Aliyaar, taking his first steps and the internet hasn’t stopped gushing since.
The clip, set against a stunning green valley, captures a wholesome scene: Shaheen is visibly emotional, cheering on his little one, while wife Ansha Afridi and doting grandfather Shahid Afridi beam with joy. The presence of close family adds to the warmth of the moment, making it not just a personal milestone but a shared memory filled with love.
Shaheen’s caption said it all: “He walked and I melted. First steps, proud parent.” Short, sweet, and overflowing with emotion, a side of the cricketer fans rarely get to see.
Since posting, messages of love and celebration have poured in from every corner, from teammates to longtime fans, all touched by the purity of the moment.
For those who’ve followed the couple’s journey, this feels like a beautiful continuation. Shaheen and Ansha began their married life in February 2023 with an intimate nikah ceremony in Karachi, followed by a grand wedding reception later that year. The arrival of their first child in 2024 added a whole new chapter — and now, with Aliyaar’s first steps, the young family continues to grow in love and happiness.
In a world of match wins and cricket stats, moments like these remind us of life’s quieter, more meaningful victories.
