Controversy surrounds former Pakistan all-rounder Imad Wasim after his ex-wife, Sania Ashfaq, publicly shared private WhatsApp conversations, intensifying media scrutiny following his recent remarriage.
Imad Wasim Confirms Second Marriage
On 16 February, Imad Wasim announced his second marriage to social media influencer Naila Raja via Instagram. In a detailed post, he discussed his past life, children, and the circumstances leading to his new marriage. He acknowledged staying in his previous relationship longer than necessary while trying to resolve issues, admitting that some decisions were delayed or mistakes were made along the way.
Serious Allegations by Ex-Wife
Shortly after Imad’s announcement, his former wife Sania Ashfaq leveled grave accusations. She claimed that in December 2023, Imad allegedly caused the termination of her pregnancy in Lahore. She described him as deceitful and dangerous, stating that she possesses video evidence supporting her claims. Sania called for a boycott of Islamabad United, asserting that such behavior should not go unpunished.
Leaked WhatsApp Chats
On social media, Sania shared WhatsApp chats dated July 2025 between herself and Imad Wasim. According to her, the conversations reveal allegations of infidelity and interference regarding her pregnancy. In the leaked messages, Imad reportedly warned her against contacting him or his family, threatening legal action if she did so.
Ex-Wife Speaks on Her Experience
In her Instagram caption, Sania wrote:
“Imad claims I keep his children away from him, but even during my pregnancy, I maintained contact with him.”
She further explained that her requests were simple; she only wanted Imad to meet his unborn son, be present, show care, and offer some affection. Instead of support, she claims Imad threatened her with harassment charges if she tried to reach out again.
Public Reaction and Ongoing Controversy
The leak has sparked intense debate on social media and among cricket fans, focusing on personal responsibility, privacy, and the ethics of sharing private conversations. The situation highlights the complex personal lives of public figures and their potential impact on professional affiliations, particularly with franchises like Islamabad United.
The unfolding controversy continues to attract attention as both supporters and critics weigh in on the allegations and the broader implications for the cricketer’s public image.
