The marriage ceremony and wedding events were done according to tribal culture and norm that’s why no wedding pictures or images of Shahid Afridi with his wife are available.
The couple was blessed with four daughters who are named:
- Aqsa
- Ansha
- Ajwa
- Asmara
Despite being wife of Pakistan’s most famous batsman Nadia Afridi remained disconnected with the media. According to Islamic teachings she covers herself with hijab and niqab and was seen in stadium along with her children in PSL and other cricket matches.
