Pakistani actress Inaya Khan has made headlines after revealing that Afghan cricket star Rashid Khan contacted her on social media and even asked for her pictures.
In a recent interview, Inaya opened up about her surprising exchange with the popular leg-spinner. She disclosed that Rashid Khan initially added her on Snapchat, where the two began casual conversations. “He asked me, ‘Are you an actor?’ and said my photos made it obvious that I was part of the entertainment industry,” she shared.
According to Inaya, their connection was made possible through a mutual friend. She added that Rashid remains on her Snapchat to this day and often checks in to ask how she’s doing, inquire about her work schedule, and talk cricket—especially matches between Pakistan and India.
Reflecting on her preferences in a life partner, Inaya said she is drawn to men who are tall and possess a calm demeanor. Though she didn’t suggest any romantic involvement with the cricketer, her comments have sparked a flurry of speculation among fans.
It’s important to note that Rashid Khan got married in October 2023 in Kabul. His traditional Pashtun wedding drew widespread attention on social media, with former Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi and other national players in attendance.
Inaya’s candid revelation has stirred interest online, with many fans intrigued by the unexpected link between a leading Pakistani actress and one of Afghanistan’s top sports personalities.
