After years of maintaining privacy following her marriage to former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan, Safa Baig, his wife, has recently stepped into the spotlight, with Irfan himself officially revealing her face to the world.
Safa made her debut on Instagram earlier this month, quickly amassing a significant fan following of 167K on the platform.
On Wednesday, Safa engaged with her fans and followers in her first Instagram Q&A session.
During the session, Instagram users flooded her with questions, and she revealed several interesting aspects of her life, shedding light on some lesser-known facts about her husband, Irfan Pathan.
During the interactive session, one user asked about Safa’s birthplace, to which she promptly responded, “Jeddah.”
However, another curious user inquired, “Are you of Arab origin?” Safa’s response revealed a surprising detail: “No, Hyderabad.
I was born and raised in Saudi Arabia,” she clarified, unveiling a lesser-known aspect of her background.
Safa Baig, born on February 28, 1994, in Jeddah, is more than just the spouse of the cricket veteran.
She pursued her education at the International Indian School in Jeddah.
Safa’s versatile career includes previous work as a model and journalist.
Reports suggest she worked as an executive editor in a PR firm and even graced the pages of various fashion magazines in the Gulf. Safa is also a renowned nail artist.
The love story between Irfan and Safa began after their first meeting at a function in Dubai in 2014, but they kept their relationship private for nearly two years.
They got married in February 2016, with their intimate Nikah taking place in Haram Shareef, Makkah, attended only by close family members and relatives.
Irfan and Safa are now proud parents of two sons Imran and Suleiman.
