Irfan Pathan got brutally trolled for hiding his wife, Safa Baig's face as they appeared for Sania Mirza's felicitation party.
On March 5, 2023, Sania Mirza hosted a farewell party, which was attended by some of the high-profile personalities from the glamour and cricket world. Former cricketer, Irfan Pathan too graced the event along with his family. However, the cricketer got mercilessly trolled for hiding his wife, Safa Baig’s face at the event.
For the event, Irfan came along with his wife, Safa Baig and their two sons. Safa looked stunning in a full-sleeved floor-length attire and covered her head and face with a dupatta and mask. However, her covered look did not please the netizens, and they trolled the cricketer for hiding his wife’s face. While one social media user wrote, “Wife ka face to dikhao”, another commented, “Ye kaise log hai yar wife ko Aise rkhre Jaise pta ni koi utha le jayrga face takk ni dikhare.”

Talking about Irfan Pathan and Safa Baig’s marriage, the cricketer tied the knot with Jeddah-based model, Safa Baig on February 4, 2016. The duo had happened to cross paths at a social gathering, and despite the fact that Safa is ten years younger than Irfan, they had fallen in love with each other. After two years of dating each other, the couple had said qubool hai in Mecca.
Trolls have often targeted Irfan for hiding his wife’s face. Sometime back, a family picture was posted on Irfan’s son, Imran's Instagram handle, and it became a topic of discussion among the trolls, who criticised Irfan for blurring his wife's picture. Later, Irfan posted the same picture on his Twitter with the caption:
"My queen posts this picture from my son's account. We are getting lot of hate. Let me post this here as well. She blurred this pic by her choice. And Yes, I'm her mate not her master. #herlifeherchoice."

After Irfan, Safa Mirza Baig reacted to the trolls and spoke in defence of her husband. In an interview with The Times Of India, Safa stated:
"I had created an Instagram account for Imran and I post stuff there, so that he can look back at some lovely memories once he grows up. I handle this account and for this particular photograph, I had blurred my face out of choice. It was completely my decision and Irfan had absolutely nothing to do with it. I never thought that posting a harmless family photograph would create a needless controversy like this. I am a very private person and I never like to be the centre of attraction. Even when Irfan gets papped, I immediately move away."
