Big Lie on Social Media: Shahid Afridi Is NOT Dead
A video is going viral on social media saying that former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi has died.
It shows Afridi’s “funeral in Karachi” and even has fake condolence messages from public figures.
But this is not true.
The Video is FAKE – Made by AI
The video has been made using artificial intelligence (AI). Experts and media have confirmed it is completely fake.
Afridi is alive and healthy.
Why Did This Fake News Spread?
Shahid Afridi recently made headlines for his anti-India comments during an event called Operation Sindoor.
Because of this, many people reacted strongly. The Indian government even banned his and other Pakistani cricketers’ social media accounts.
Now, this fake death news seems to be part of a planned hoax to mislead people and cause confusion.

- Played for Pakistan in all three formats (Test, ODI, T20)
- Scored 11,000+ runs, took 541 wickets

Why This is Serious?

Before sharing anything online, always check if the news is real. Don’t believe everything you see on social media.
