Imad Wasim Faces Cheating Claims After Second Marriage

February 17, 2026

Islamabad/New Delhi, Feb 17 — Former Pakistan all‑rounder Imad Wasim has become the centre of a social media storm after announcing his second marriage just two months after his divorce from his first wife, Sannia Ashfaq. Wasim revealed on Instagram that he has married influencer Nyla Raja, describing the step as one taken to “build a life rooted in peace, stability and mutual respect.”

Wasim played 55 ODIs and 75 T20Is for Pakistan and announced his retirement from international cricket in 2024. While his career earned respect on the field, his personal life has now dominated headlines off it.

Ex‑Wife Alleges Betrayal and Demands Justice

The announcement triggered a strong response from his ex‑wife Sannia Ashfaq, who shared her reaction on social media, accusing Wasim of betraying her and failing to consider his children’s well‑being. In a post shared on Instagram, she claimed, “the cheater has finally been exposed, and I want justice for my children and for everything we’ve been put through.”

Ashfaq labelled the new union a “homewrecking” incident and said the situation confirmed her long‑held concerns about the breakdown of their marriage. She urged accountability and expressed deep anguish over the personal impact of the controversy.

Wasim’s Statement on Marriage and Family

In his original announcement, Wasim acknowledged that his first marriage had been “one of the hardest chapters” of his life, calling his children the greatest blessings and emphasizing his ongoing responsibility towards them. He requested that the public respect his family’s privacy and refrain from sharing old photos of the couple.

Wasim said he took the decision to remarry thoughtfully, with guidance from his family, and praised Nyla Raja for bringing calm and strength into his life.

Social Media Reaction and Wider Debate

Social media has been flooded with opinions from fans and critics alike, with many supporting Ashfaq’s call for justice and others defending Wasim’s right to rebuild his life. Conversations have ranged from criticism of the manner and timing of the announcement to broader discussions about personal choices and responsibility.

Some commentators have highlighted the impact such public disputes can have on children and families, while others emphasis the need for sensitivity when addressing complex personal matters in the public sphere.

Background to the Split

Wasim and Ashfaq married in 2019 and had three children together a daughter born in 2021 and two sons in 2022 and 2025. The cricketer announced his divorce in December 2025, citing unresolved differences, and asked fans to respect their privacy during the separation process.

The recent remarriage appears to have reignited long‑smouldering tensions, with Ashfaq’s accusations drawing significant attention and debate online.
