Digital creator and lawyer Naela Raja has publicly responded to renewed online criticism following the divorce announcement of Pakistan cricketer Imad Wasim and his former wife, Sania Ashfaq.
After Imad Wasim confirmed the end of his marriage, social media users once again linked Naela Raja to past rumours involving the cricketer. The debate intensified as users flooded her Instagram account, urging her to either deny the allegations or present evidence to refute them.
In response, Naela Raja issued a firm statement rejecting online accusations. She stressed that allegations should be backed by verifiable proof and presented through proper legal channels. She also clarified that defamation laws apply only to false and damaging claims, adding that genuine evidence cannot be suppressed if pursued lawfully.
The controversy traces back to July 2025, when Naela Raja drew widespread attention after appearing alongside Imad Wasim in viral images and videos. At the time, the sightings sparked speculation online, especially as Sania Ashfaq was reportedly expecting the couple’s third child. None of the claims were substantiated through official or legal confirmation.
Despite her clarification, Naela Raja’s remarks triggered another wave of reaction on social media. Critics continued to label her harshly, while others interpreted her statement as confrontational. Supporters, however, argued that online speculation should not replace due legal process.
