Bollywood actress and model Urvashi Rautela, celebrated for her roles in films like Sanam Re and Great Grand Masti, has named Pakistani cricketer Naseem Shah as her favorite player.

During the IIFA awards ceremony in Abu Dhabi, when asked about her favorite cricketer, Urvashi expressed her admiration for Naseem Shah.

This isn’t the first time Urvashi has been linked to Naseem in the media. She previously shared a fan-made video on her official Instagram featuring her and Naseem smiling during a match, which quickly created a buzz on social media.

Her birthday wishes and congratulations to Shah on his recent appointment as an honorary DSP also attracted significant attention online.

Naseem’s Instagram account responded with a thank-you message, but in a later interview, he clarified that it was actually his manager who replied. He mentioned that he rarely manages his Instagram himself and had asked his manager to handle birthday greetings on his behalf.

Naseem further addressed the rumors, stating, “I only focus on my matches. People usually send me videos, but I have no idea. I have nothing special in me, but I appreciate those who come to watch cricket and show a lot of respect.” He emphasized that he did not know Urvashi and is solely focused on his cricket career.
