In a heartfelt moment, Akram was seen breaking down into tears while speaking about his beloved spouse, who passed away in 2009 due to multiple organ failures. The emotional episode unfolded during an interview where the legendary cricketer opened up about the impact of his wife’s untimely demise on his life.
Akram, a former left-arm fast bowler, struggled to hold back his tears as he recounted last memories with his ill wife Huma.
“My kids were 7 and 10, and I was a typical Pakistani dude. I knew they are my boys and I have to love them but didn’t know much about them. It was tough, a lot of people helped me afterwards. They were with Huma’s friend who is also named Huma. They were with her for 3 days before I called them home. But they didn’t understand what happened, they were too young,” said the legendary cricketer.
