Shahid Afridi, the former captain of Pakistan, has cautioned his son-in-law, Shaheen Afridi, against addressing him as 'sasur' (father-in-law) in public.

During a conversation with a local TV channel, Afridi told Shaheen, "I don't want to hear this word from your mouth again."

Afridi said that Shaheen should refrain from addressing him as father-in-law because he himself has recently won a cricket trophy. Afridi was referring to his team, Asia Lions, winning the Legends League Cricket tournament by defeating India Maharajas by nine runs to claim the championship.

Shaheen also shared the significance of bowling to Shahid in the Pakistan Super League half a decade ago, describing it as a special moment for him.

"He is my role model. He has been the inspiration for me. I have enjoyed Lala's batting, I used to switch off TV when he used to get out. He is my hero and like my friend," said Shaheen.

"Never thought I would become a family member. When I played against him it was a dream come true feeling for me. I took his wicket," Shaheen added.

Shahid also disclosed that Shaheen's wedding celebrations (Rukhsati) with Ansha Afridi will commence in September of this year.

"Should I tell them the month?" Shahid asked Shaheen before making the announcement.

Shaheen and Ansha got married earlier this year in February in a simple Nikkah ceremony.
