Pakistani cricketer Imad Wasim is in the spotlight after his second marriage with lawyer Nyla Raja went viral on the internet, but how is she linked with former PM Imran Khan?
Former National cricketer and all-rounder Imad Wasim recently married a social media influencer, Nyla Raja. After their wedding, Imad’s ex-wife, Sannia Ashfaq, made shocking allegations against him.
Sannia said that in December 2023, Imad forced her to undergo a miscarriage in Lahore. She called him a “killer” and said she was betrayed by him, saying that she has video evidence to prove her words.
Who is Nyla Raja?
Nyla Zulfiqar Raja is a Pakistani lawyer and social media content creator who has built a large online following over the past few years. She shares legal advice, lifestyle updates, and beauty content across her platforms.
Her name has recently drawn wider public attention following her marriage to former Pakistan cricketer Imad Wasim.
However, she had already established a presence online before becoming part of the public discussion around his personal life.
Call to boycott Islamabad United
Sannia Ashfaq criticised Islamabad United for giving an opportunity to Imad Wasim, despite the allegations.
She encouraged fans to boycott the team, writing no “killer or betrayer” should get away with it.
For context, in the 11th edition of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), Imad Wasim had been bought by Islamabad United for PKR 2.2 crore.
After his marriage, Sania took to social media to launch a campaign using the hashtag #BoycottIslamabadUnited to demand some form of action against him.
