In the wake of Pakistan’s devastating defeat against arch-rivals India in the 2023 ICC World Cup, actress and model Nawal Saeed stirred controversy by claiming Pakistani cricketers are sending flirty messages to her on Instagram. During an appearance on Momin Saqib’s popular show Had Kardi, Nawal urged cricketers to stop “sliding into her DMs” and focus on the ongoing global tournament in India. Nawal’s interview got mixed reactions online, with netizens rubbishing her claims as merely “chasing attention and publicity,” while others speculated which cricketer is busy “flirting” with her. While Nawal Saeed refrained from disclosing any names, she candidly revealed that she regularly receives unsolicited messages from Pakistani cricketers via Instagram. Her revelation comes at a time when the nation’s eyes are fixed on the World Cup, and the consecutive loss has left many fans disheartened. She stated, “What surprises me is that these cricketers are representing Pakistan on the international stage, yet they choose to send messages to actresses while they are on national duty at the World Cup.”i “Given their status as national heroes,” Saeed remarked, “it is bewildering that they would randomly message actresses during such a crucial tournament.”
