What if your father's choice of luxury flights over your education was all over social media? That's the shocking reality for 10-year-old Ayra, whose mother has publicly accused Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami of neglecting their daughter’s schooling in favor of his girlfriend's children.

In a dramatic Instagram revelation, Hasin Jahan, Shami's estranged wife, voiced her frustrations, claiming that while she receives a hefty Rs 4 lakh monthly alimony from the cricketer, including Rs 2.5 lakh specifically for Ayra’s needs, he seems to prioritize the education of his girlfriend's children instead. This explosive allegation has raised eyebrows and sparked a heated debate about responsibility and parental priorities.

Jahan took to social media to announce Ayra’s recent admission to a prestigious international school, stating, “The enemies did not want my daughter to get admission in a good school, but Allah foiled their plans, and she has secured admission to a very good international school.” However, her posts quickly turned into a critique of Shami's financial choices, where she accused him of spending lavishly on business class flights and elite school admissions for his girlfriend’s children, while allegedly underfunding his own daughter’s education.

“The father of my daughter, despite being a billionaire, is playing with her life because of womanizing, while educating his mistress's children in elite schools,” she wrote, emphasizing the disparity in his financial priorities. The ongoing saga between Shami and Jahan has been clouded by public accusations and legal tussles since their marriage in 2014, which culminated in their separation. Their daughter, Ayra, was born in 2015, and her welfare has emerged as a central issue in their disputes.

On the cricketing front, Shami is set to make a comeback in the upcoming 2025 Duleep Trophy after being sidelined from the England tour following a less-than-stellar season with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL. As he prepares for his return to the field, the off-field drama raises questions about how personal issues can affect a player’s performance and public image.

This complicated family saga highlights the often turbulent intersection of fame, fortune, and family responsibilities.
