Malala and Asser Malik celebrate their marriage the Pakistan cricket team way — with cake

Malala and Asser Malik celebrate their marriage the Pakistan cricket team way — with cake

Malik, who works at the PCB, posted about his new wife on Twitter and we love how sweet his message was.
11 Nov, 2021

If there's one thing we have learned this T20 World Cup, it's that the Pakistan cricket team loves cutting cake. It makes sense then that Malala Yousazai's new husband Asser Malik, who works at the PCB, would want to carry on this tradition.

He and Malala celebrated their nikkah by cutting a cake and everyone approves. After all, he does work for the Pakistan Cake Board, ahem, we mean Pakistan Cricket Board.

Malik's tweet included a sweet message about his new wife. "In Malala, I found the most supportive friend, a beautiful and kind partner — I'm so excited to spend the rest of our life together," he wrote.

Malala and Malik announced their marriage on Tuesday night. They tied the knot in an intimate nikkah at the Yousafzai family home in Birmingham, the UK.

The cake cutting tradition is no joke, though it has been made into one on Twitter.

The team has been cutting cakes every day, it seems and we approve. What better way to celebrate a five-game winning streak than with cake?

They have celebrated birthdays.

Shared their cake with their opponents.

And celebrated birthdays and men of the match!

So it makes sense that Malik would continue this tradition. The internet has already celebrated his marriage to Malala so it makes sense that the happy couple would celebrate too!

She doesn’t enjoy the same celebrity status back home where she stays controversial on most social, moral and ethical issues, being more loyal to the west & their values than her birthplace. She is not Abdul Edhi or Dr Adeeb Rizvi for Pakistanis as these are cherished across the nation irrespective of one’s faith, gender, political affiliation or educational status & Pakistanis would have been a lot happier if either one of them who are loved evidently by all for being more humanistic had gotten the Nobel Prize instead of Malala as they devoted their lives to the well being of the people who have been ill served and deserted by their ruling middle and upper classes.

Shame that we still have too many fanatics walking the streets for her to feel safe in Pakistan. She is a remarkable person and I wish her the best.

Cake cutting is western culture. Why people are crazily adopting western culture and style?

@Rahim " Cake cutting is western culture" one adopts the culture and values of the place one lives.

@Amjad Durrani Engineer USA if you have such a problem with Western culture and values, why do you shown off your profession and 'USA' in your name in every post?

@Rahim "Cake cutting is western culture. Why people are crazily adopting western culture and style?" Cake cutting and Mithai are two different ways of doing the same thing; adding sugar into your body.
