Just two days ago, there were rumours being spread about the death of Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi’s youngest daughter on social media. Some media organisations and Twitter users went to the extent of sharing images of a child wrapped in a white cloth with rose petals on her, claiming that she was Afridi’s daughter.

However, Afridi’s daughter Asmara, who was in a hospital to undergo surgery has recovered and is very much alive.
