Reports recently surfaced that Veer actress Zareen Khan was linked with former Pakistan captain and legend Shahid Afridi. However, the beautiful actress squashed all the rumours.
She took to her Twitter account and lashed out at the media outlets who are spreading the false news. The rumours started to swirl during the recently concluded T10 league in Sharjah, where Zareen was the ambassador of the Pakhtoon franchise.
During the tournament, she was spotted hanging out with Afridi. She was also seen celebrating wildly when Afridi took a wicket or smashed a six, further adding fuel to the fire. Afridi also took a hat-trick during the tournament, which included the wicket of Indian batting legend Virender Sehwag.
Zareen Khan though has now put a full-stop to all these rumours, tweeting:

He is a complete family man and a true gentleman.
I wud request ppl not to pay heed to fake news and encourage such stupidity. #Shame #CheckFacts #GetALife— Zareen Khan (@zareen_khan) December 22, 2017
Zareen has previously admitted to being a fan of Afridi, saying in an interview with IndiaTimes, “I have been a fan of Afridi from the very first day he had played his match, I think he was 16 and scored 100 runs on 32 or 35 balls.”
As for Afridi, he retired from cricket in 2016 and was last seen playing in the T10 league.
