Pakistan fast-bowling great Wasim Akram and his wife Shaniera celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary on Monday, August 19, with quite some creativity on social media. Shaniera took to social media platform 'X' to wish her husband, and she chose quite the way to do it. Shaniera displayed her photoshopping skills, as she portrayed Wasim Akram with a bald head and a thick beard. She continued that with a humorous caption, saying "11 years on, you look as good as the day I met you".
Shaniera, who was born in Australia but works as a social worker in Pakistan, is Akram's second wife. His first wife, Huma, passed away in 2009.

Besides the humour, Shaniera wrote some heartwarming words for her husband.
"Thank you for everything you are and everything you give to my life, you are my world and 11 years on you look as good as the day I met you, you haven't changed a bit!"
The legendary pacer - who has 916 international wickets across formats - took a less humorous route, in a heartfelt letter to his wife.
