Former India all-rounder, Irfan Pathan has come in support of his wife after the criticism he has received after an image of his wife, Safa Baig, surfaced on social media. In the picture, Baig, who married the former cricketer in February 2016, has blurred some part of her face. He received plenty of flak and trolling from the netizens for not allowing his wife to put the picture of her complete face.
However, in his recent tweet, Irfan Pathan went on to reveal that it was his wife’s choice to blur the photo. Teh Baroda all-rounder also assured the fans that he has given freedom to his wife by stating, “I’m her mate not her master.” The duo has a son, named Imran Khan Pathan, who Baig gave birth in December 2016.
