Author: By Umar Farooq

KARACHI – Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi and British boxer Amir Khan will be starring together in Warid’s upcoming television commercial, which was being shot in a local studio in Karachi recently.

Both sportsmen are known for their extraordinary prowess and exceptional performance in their respective sports. Shahid Afridi – as an existing Warid Brand Ambassador – has also appeared in Warid’s LTE launch television commercial in Pakistan.

It’s interesting to see that Warid has brought another sports superstar on board, and both Afridi and Amir, will soon be appearing together on television for the first time in Warid’s new commercial. Amir Khan – a UK-based Pakistani and World Boxing Council Silver Welterweight Champion – is on a visit to Pakistan with his wife. He recently inaugurated Amir Khan Boxing Academy, a project he collaborated on with the Pakistan Sports Board.

The academy will train young professional boxers and coaches and Amir Khan himself will be providing both equipment and his expertise for this endeavor. During his visit to Karachi this week, Amir Khan also visited philanthropist Abdul Sattar Edhi, who is hospitalised.

Afridi – who welcomed his friend Amir Khan in Karachi – has also visited several places with the Olympic silver-medalist. The veteran cricketer has also made great contributions towards society through his charitable and welfare work. Recently, he was nominated for being one of the top sportsmen in the country, who donates a significant portion of their income for social welfare.

Being an avid community worker, he has established Shahid Afridi Foundation, which aims to support public health, children’s development and education while providing general community support. This dynamic duo is the new face of Warid. Let’s see how these two perform in Warid’s TV Commercial.
