Pakistani all-rounder Imad Wasim is at the center of a personal storm as rumors swirl around his alleged involvement with social media influencer Naila Raja. The speculation intensified after Imad’s wife, Sannia Ashfaq, posted a cryptic yet emotionally loaded message on Instagram: “Silence should not be considered as consent… I am just choosing the right time after thinking carefully.” The message has stirred widespread attention across social media, signaling deeper tensions in the couple’s private life.
Sannia’s post followed weeks of online chatter suggesting marital discord, fueled by changes on her Instagram profile. She removed all pictures with Imad and modified her bio to exclude his name, referring instead to herself simply as the mother of their children. Notably, the couple welcomed their third child, Zayan, just weeks ago—making the timing of this tension all the more dramatic.
While Sannia hasn’t named anyone directly, the public has been quick to connect her message with the viral video of Imad allegedly seen walking with a woman in London. That woman, Naila Raja, came forward to clarify the situation. In her statement, Naila emphatically denied any romantic involvement with Imad and explained that the video in question was taken and shared by her during a public outing. She stated she had no “personal connection” with the cricketer and condemned the online harassment she and her family have faced as a result of the speculation.
Naila’s rebuttal painted a picture of someone unfairly caught in a viral storm. “I am a proud, educated woman with dignity and values. Please stop making assumptions,” she said in a social media post. Her firm denial has added another layer of complexity to an already tangled situation.
Meanwhile, Imad Wasim has remained completely silent. No public statements, denials, or clarifications have emerged from him—adding fuel to the ongoing speculation. His silence is particularly glaring given the open nature of the accusations and the emotional tone of his wife’s post. Fans and followers are now closely watching for any response or acknowledgment from his side.
This unfolding drama comes at a time when Imad had been making headlines for his on-field performances and recent return to cricket after initially announcing retirement. However, this personal controversy threatens to overshadow his professional image, especially in Pakistan where athletes’ public personas are closely scrutinized.
What lies ahead remains unclear. Sannia’s carefully worded message hints that she may speak further when the time is right. Until then, speculation continues to swirl, and the story remains a trending topic among fans, media, and fellow cricketers alike.
In the age of social media, where personal and public lives are increasingly intertwined, Imad Wasim’s situation serves as a cautionary tale. While the final word is yet to come, the impact of silence—intentional or not—has already made its mark.
