Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi celebrated a special family moment this week as his grandson Aliyaar turned two years old. Afridi shared glimpses of the birthday celebrations on his Instagram account, giving fans a look at a jungle-themed party filled with colourful balloons and animal-themed decorations.
The pictures showed Afridi posing with his grandchildren, including Aliyaar, while Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi, who is Aliyaar’s father, was also seen spending time with his son during the event. The party had a safari feel to it, with animal figures, large balloons, and glowing letters adding to the festive setup. Little Aliyaar enjoyed himself at the celebration, taking part in fun activities like face painting and colouring.
According to reports, the birthday gathering was attended by close family members and included a cake-cutting ceremony to mark the occasion. Shaheen Afridi was seen playing with his son and even joined him for the face-painting activity. In a heartfelt message on social media, Shaheen said his son had brought light into his life two years ago and made everything more beautiful. Shahid Afridi also shared his own wishes, saying the past two years had been full of happiness, love, and unforgettable memories with his grandson.
Aliyaar is the son of Shaheen Shah Afridi and his wife Ansha, who is Shahid Afridi’s daughter. The family often shares such personal moments with fans, giving the public a warm and human side of the cricket-loving household. The celebration once again showed the close bond shared between the Afridi and Shaheen families, both on and off the field.
