During his participation on the show "
Hansna Mana Hai
," Pakistani cricketer Shadab Khan recently responded to allegations made by actresses and TikTokers that cricketers had messaged them, according to a report in Geo News.
Host Tabish Hashmi asked the all-rounder, "Do cricketers really send messages to actors and TikTokers on social media, or are these just baseless claims?"
Shadab replied, "If a cricketer messages an actress or TikToker, there's nothing wrong with it." He added, "If actresses receive messages and don't like them, they should simply not respond."
Shadab added, "If actresses don't reply, they won't get more messages. But if they respond and then expect replies while complaining about getting messages, that's not how it works."
Shadab further remarked, "I've seen videos of some actresses making big claims, but that's not always the reality. Sometimes, things are exaggerated."
Shadab said that such statements are made purely for publicity, particularly during important cricket competitions. "It's a way to get attention," he said.
Shadab added, "There's no fight within the team over who messaged an actress. But yes, everyone does ask each other who sent the message."
Shadab addressed these allegations without mentioning any specific individuals.
Shah Taj Khan
, a TikToker, previously asserted that she was friends with Shadab Khan and that the two of them had exchanged messages on social media. Actresses like Momina Iqbal and
Nawal Saeed
had previously stated that cricket players frequently messaged them.
