"My little princess" - Mohammed Shami posts birthday wish for daughter Aaira
Team India's ace pacer Mohammed Shami shared a sweet birthday wish for his daughter Aaira on his official Instagram handle on Wednesday, July 17. The cricket star posted a few pictures and wrote a special message on his little one's special day.
Shami tied the knot with Hasin Jahan in 2014. The two were blessed with a baby girl, whom they named Aaira, in 2015. However, Shami and Jahan had a public fallout. They went through an ugly divorce and their daughter now lives with her mother.
Wishing Aaira a happy birthday, Shami wrote:
"Happy birthday to my little princess. I hope your year is full of love, success, and happiness.🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂."
On the cricketing front, Mohammed Shami has been on the sidelines since the 2023 ODI World Cup. He underwent an Achilles tendon surgery earlier this year, and was ruled out of the 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the recently concluded 2024 T20 World Cup.
"Who doesn't miss their kids and family?" - Mohammed Shami on not being able to meet his daughter
Speaking about being away from his daughter, Mohammed Shami mentioned that he misses Aaira a lot and can only speak to her after Hasin Jahan's approval.
During a conversation with News18 earlier this year, here's what Shami said about not being able to meet his daughter freely:
"Who doesn't miss their kids and family? Obviously, there are situations where not everything is in your hands. But if you ask me do I miss her (daughter), no one can leave their own blood. I do speak to her sometimes.
"All depends on her, if she (Hasin Jahan) allows I talk to her. I haven't visited her yet. I just want to wish her good health and a lot of success. Whatever is going on between her mother and me, that shouldn't matter. I make sure that she is living a healthy life." he added.
Shami has started gearing up for his cricketing return and has shared videos of his training and practice sessions on social media.
