Former Pakistan cricketer Abdul Razzaq has set social media on fire after his cheeky “second marriage” joke on a live television show that has already created massive buzz.
Recently, Abdul Razzaq appeared on the ARY Digital’s show hosted by Nida Yasir, and he was sitting right next to his wife, Ayesha, and the simple discussion turned into spicy headline material.
Abdul Razzaq’s TV joke creates massive buzz
Ayesha openly shared how she managed the entire house when Razzaq was busy with his tours. From children’s schoolwork and parent meetings to groceries and daily household pressure, she handled everything alone while Razzaq focused on his career.

And then came the explosive twist. Razzaq casually joked that maybe he should marry again so his wife could get some help with the workload. He jokingly said, “I have told her many times that I could get married again; it would lighten your workload since you are doing so much.”
The Shoaib Malik and Imad Wasim drama
The studio burst into laughter, but the former Pakistani cricketer’s comment instantly caught attention worldwide. The topic became even more sensitive because Pakistan cricket has recently seen high-profile remarriages. Shoaib Malik shocked fans with his third marriage in 2024.
And most recently, Imad Wasim also made headlines with his second marriage last week in February 2026. And that’s why Abdul Razzaq’s light comment did not feel so light to many viewers. Athletes are role models, and millions of fans follow their lifestyle, their words, and their behavior.

So, such sensitive topics being joked about on public television raised questions on the message being sent. Shockingly, during the show, when the hosts asked Razzaq’s wife about surprises he ever gave her, the former cricketer said, “Nida is asking if I ever gave a surprise with a second marriage.”
