Instagram star Kashaf Ali has publicly responded to rumours surrounding her connection with Pakistani cricketer Saim Ayub, labelling the speculation as “baseless” and “unnecessary gossip.” The controversy began after a video of the two spending time together in London recently went viral on social media.
The clip, which showed Ayub and Ali at a bowling alley chatting and taking selfies, quickly sparked fan curiosity, leading to widespread speculation about their relationship. Addressing the rumours on Instagram, Kashaf Ali expressed frustration over the media and the public’s focus on trivial matters.
“There are countless important issues in our country, but people choose to discuss irrelevant things instead,” she stated. She dismissed the claims, emphasizing that the video was being blown out of proportion. “You don’t know the person in the video, just like you don’t know me. It’s ridiculous how people make up stories based on assumptions,” she added.
Saim Ayub, 22, is in London recovering from an ankle injury that ruled him out of the ICC Champions Trophy. His presence in the UK and Kashaf Ali’s social media activity further fueled rumours that the two were spending time together. However, neither party has officially confirmed any relationship.
The viral video has become a trending topic online, drawing mixed reactions from fans. This isn’t the first time Saim Ayub has made headlines for off-field matters. Earlier, he faced criticism for allegedly ignoring a journalist at a charity event in London, which also stirred debate online.
Despite the ongoing speculation, Kashaf Ali maintains that the viral clip was simply a casual moment taken out of context. “There’s nothing to talk about here. People should focus on real issues instead of creating drama out of nothing,” she concluded.
