The dispute between Indian pacer Mohammed Shami and his wife Hasin Jahan is increasing day by day. With each passing day, people from their lives are emerging to talk about the issue. One such name is Pakistani model Alishba.

Alishba had finally opened up about the ongoing controversy surrounding Mohammed Shami and his wife Hasin Jahan. Talking to ABP, Alishba explained how she become Shami’s friend.

According to the Pakistan-based model, it was after the finale of the 2017 Champions Trophy, when Pakistan defeated India, when she messaged Mohammed Shami for the first time.

“When India lost to Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy final, I had heard that some Pakistani fan made fun on Shami. I was eager to know who Mohammed Shami is. So, that is when I went to his page and messaged him. That is where and when we started to have conversations,” Alishba told ABP.

In the much-talked finale, Virat Kohli-led Men-in-Blue had suffered a 180-run defeat. When the Indian squad was going to the dressing room following the defeat, a Pakistani fan had shouted to Mohammed Shami “Baap Kaun Hain (who is your father)”.

Shami got upset with the remark and was set to confront the person. However, former Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni stepped in and stopped him from doing so. The news had made headlines in both Indian and Pakistani media.

Since Shami was making the headline in media continuously, it sparked Alishba’s curiosity about the Indian pacer, and she messaged him.

“I am one of his followers, which is how I became Shami’s friend. Just like he has lakhs of followers, I am one among those normal fans. I have sent him messages,” Alishba told ABP.

“As a person, I really like Shami. As any fan that has idolized a celebrity, they always dream of meeting their idol. I have a lot of respect for him and we became good friends. We had a normal conversation,” she added.

Jahan had accused Indian pacer Shami of physical and mental torture, extra-marital affairs, attempt to murder among other charges.

Following Jahan’s complaint, an FIR was filed against Mohammed Shami under sections 498A (Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), 323 (Causing hurt), 307 (Attempt to murder), 376 (Punishment for rape), 506 (Criminal intimidation), 328 (Causing hurt by means of poison, etc., with intent to commit an offence.), 34 (Acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code against Shami and 4 others.
