(MENAFN- Live Mint) On Februrary 3, former cricketer Irfan Pathan shared a post on his ninth marriage anniversary.
“YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ANSWER TO ALL MY PRAYERS,” Pathan wrote while wishing his wife, Safa Baig Mirza,“Happy 9th my love.”
His post, however, faced social media backlash. His wife, who used to cover her face earlier, no more wears a niqab. This has infuriated some.

Irfan Pathan's 8th marriage anniversary
In 2024, on his eighth marriage anniversary, Irfan Pathan revealed his wife's face on social media. This came after years of Safa Baig Mirza not showing her face on social media.
When she didn't wear a niqab, she still found other ways to cover her face. The face reveal in 2024 also faced a lot of backlash.
