Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi clarified on Thursday that his daughters were not on any of the social media platforms.

“I would like to clarify that none of my daughters have any social media accounts; please disregard any ‘accounts’ or ‘news’ that are associated with my daughters,” Boom Boom tweeted along with a screenshot of a fake account being allegedly linked with his daughter Ansha.

In the bio of the fake account, it was written, “proud to be the daughter of Boom Boom Shahid Afridi and Angel of Nadia Afridi.”

Later, the account changed its description to “Big fan of Shahid Afridi 10”. More than 5,600 people were following the account which showed Shahid Afridi standing with his daughters in the display picture before it was suspended by Twitter.

The ex-captain has five daughters: Aqsa, Ansha, Asmara, Ajwa and Arwa. A few days ago, a video of one of Afridi’s daughters had gone viral on social media in which somebody asked her if she was the daughter of the national player. To which she responded jokingly that no she was his sister. She later corrected herself and said that yes, she was Afridi’s daughter.
