Mohammed Shami Gets Emotional On Daughter's Birthday, Shares Heartfelt Post

Indian star pacer Mohammed Shami is currently away from Team India. He hasn’t played red-ball cricket in quite some time, and his performance in IPL 2025 was also below expectations.

Additionally, concerns over his fitness meant that Shami was not selected for the Test series against England. Amid this phase away from cricket, Shami, who has also been distant from his daughter for a long time, shared an emotional message on her birthday.

Shami’s Message for Daughter Ayra

Mohammed Shami’s daughter, Ayra, is celebrating her 10th birthday today. However, the cricketer couldn’t be with her on this special day as his daughter and wife live separately.

Still, remembering his daughter with affection, Shami expressed his feelings through a heartfelt post on social media.

Wishing Ayra a happy birthday, Shami wrote, “Darling, daughter,I still remember all the nights we spent staying up, talking,laughing and specifically your dance . Can’t believe you are growing up so fast. I wish only the best for you in life. May God bless you abundantly with love, peace, joy, and good health, today and always. Happy birthday..”

Shami’s Family Lives Apart Since 2018

Mohammed Shami tied the knot with Hasin Jahan in 2014. The couple welcomed their daughter in 2015. Things went well for a few years, but in 2018, their relationship took a turn for the worse.

Hasin Jahan leveled serious accusations against Shami, including sexual harassment and match-fixing, leading to legal battles. Since then, the two have been living separately, although they have not yet officially divorced.

Recently, the Kolkata High Court ordered Shami to pay ₹4 lakh per month as alimony for his wife and daughter, a reminder of the ongoing personal struggles behind the scenes.
