Last week, the India all-rounder Irfan Pathan took to twitter to announce the world that he had got married asking his well-wishers to give the couple their blessings.
Pathan’s tweet also had the photo of the newly married couple take in the premises of Makkah, the Holiest site for Muslims.
Pathan tweeted, “Entering probably the most beautiful phase of my life.We both wish to thank everyone for your wishes & #blessings.”

Pathan has got married to Safa Baig, a 21-year old model from Jeddah.
No sooner had he posted the tweet, he received a reply from none other than his former India team-mate, Mohammad Kaif, who congratulated him on getting married, but quickly complained on the all-rounder from Gujarat doing so in secrecy.
Kaif wrote, “.@IrfanPathan married? Kya bhai , now we will get this news via social media 🙂 wish you both a great married life and lets meet :)”

Irfan was quick to remind Kaif that he needed to respond to his phone calls for him to be invited for the wedding. All this twitter banter ended with a promise that both of them should catch up with ‘families.’
@KaifSays Bhai mere phone uthaoge to pata chalega Na
