Pakistani cricketer Raza Hassan has garnered attention following his engagement to Pooja, an Indian Hindu woman. The engagement ceremony reportedly took place in New York, where Hassan has been residing for some time. The couple plans to officially wed in early 2024. Raza has mentioned that Pooja is deeply interested in Islam and may convert soon.
Raza Hassan’s engagement to Pooja mirrors similar unions between Pakistani cricketers and Indian women. In the past, notable figures like Mohsin Khan, who married Bollywood actress Reena Roy, and Zaheer Abbas, who wed Indian Rita Luthra, set the precedent. These cross-border marriages highlight a longstanding connection between Pakistani cricketers and Indian women.
