Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan finally broke his silence and reacted to his wife’s blurred picture on the internet that has received unnecessary hate messages. A picture of Irfan Pathan’s wife Safa Baig was posted from his son’s Instagram account where her face was partially blurred. The blur bit caught the eye of the fans, who started pouring in hate messages asking if she is not allowed to reveal her face.
Taking to Twitter, Irfan posted the same picture and clarified that it is by choice that she has blurred that part. The 36-year old former all-rounder also said that he is not her ‘master but her mate’.
Irfan tweeted from his account with the same picture saying, “This picture is posted by my queen from my son’s account. We are getting lot of hate. Let me post this here as well. She blurred this pic by her choice. And Yes, I’m her mate not her master”.
