Wasim Akram celebrated his 52nd birthday with some of his co-workers, including Waqar Younis, Zainab Abbas, and Rameez Raja. A video had surfaced on social media of his cake cutting ceremony, however, it had stirred massive anger on social media.
This is because the journalists and commentators celebrated the birthday in Leeds during the Pakistan and England match during the day. The video shows Wasim Akram sharing his cake with his fellow co-workers while the rest of the country was fasting!
As angry fans commented their views on the video, Waqar Younis took it to Twitter to apologize for hurting the feelings of their fans and accepting that the act was not the right thing to do especially in Ramadan, the holy month when millions of Muslims fast.
Earlier, Rameez Raja was spotted drinking orange juice while on set for his shoot on YouTube for which he had also posted an apology and stated that he is not fasting due to some health concerns.

Others accepted the apology and said you do not have to apologize to the people but to God…
it is so much daring to accept his mistake but they should have to take care next time

Don’t be sorry Waqar bhai. You don’t need to.

Waqar bhai, Wasim bhai, or anyone else for that matter, is not answerable to any of us. And we are not answerable to others if we are fasting or not. So, lets not make issue of nothing.
