Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi won the internet’s heart after posting an emotional video capturing his son Ali Yar’s first steps — a touching family moment that quickly went viral.

The Instagram clip, shared by the cricketer himself, shows a beaming Shaheen celebrating his son’s milestone with wife Ansha Afridi, father-in-law and former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, and other close family members. Set against a beautiful green valley backdrop, the video radiates warmth, love, and joy.

Shaheen captioned the video simply but powerfully: “He walked, I melted. First steps, proud parent.” The clip not only highlighted a personal milestone but also reflected the pride and emotion of a young father witnessing his child take their first steps.

The video received an outpouring of affection from fans, teammates, and public figures alike. Social media was soon flooded with messages of congratulations and well-wishes for the young family.

Shaheen and Ansha, who tied the knot in February 2023 in a private nikah ceremony at a Karachi mosque, welcomed their first child, Ali Yar, earlier this year. The arrival of their son was a moment of immense joy, especially for Shahid Afridi, who embraced grandfatherhood for the first time.

Their wedding celebrations continued in September 2023 with a traditional reception in Karachi and a grand valima in Islamabad, marking the beginning of their life together.

Now, with this shared moment of parenthood, Shaheen and Ansha’s journey continues to capture the hearts of fans across the world — one small step at a time.
