Naseem Shah’s adorable reply to woman’s selfie request goes viral

A lighthearted moment involving Pakistani fast bowler Naseem Shah has taken social media by storm after his innocent response to a female fan’s selfie request won hearts online.

During the ongoing tri-nation series between Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Naseem Shah approached the stands after the match to greet fans. As spectators snapped photos of the star pacer, one female fan asked for a selfie with him.

Naseem’s shy and humorous reply immediately drew laughter from the crowd. “My family will scold me. I swear I’m telling the truth, my father scolds a lot,” he said, leaving everyone around amused.

The brief exchange was captured on video and quickly spread across social media platforms, with fans praising Naseem’s humility and innocent charm. The young fast bowler, already popular for his on-field performances, once again won over fans with his candid personality.

This is not the first time Naseem Shah has won hearts due to a simple comment or a gesture. He is often seen sharing personal anecdotes in interviews which also go viral due to the inherent innocence in his confessions. At the same time, his fierce game on the pitch has also landed this Pakistani young talent on people’s screens and in their hearts.

One of the most popular moments in Naseem Shah’s career came in September 2022, during a nail-biter against Afghanistan. With Pakistan hanging by a thread, the young pacer stepped up and sent two full tosses sailing into the stands, sealing a remarkable victory. But what made the moment unforgettable wasn’t just the back-to-back sixes, it was Naseem’s burst of unfiltered emotion, a mix of anger and boyish fire.

Even in that intense, high-pressure instant, there was something endearing about watching a normally soft-spoken, shy youngster suddenly transform into a wide-eyed hero.
