The Legal Dispute with Hasin Jahan

Mohammed Shami and Hasin Jahan's tumultuous relationship became public in 2018, when Jahan accused Shami of domestic violence, infidelity, and mental harassment. The couple, who got married in 2014, have been locked in a prolonged legal battle ever since. Recently, the Calcutta High Court ordered Shami to pay a monthly alimony of ₹1.5 lakh to Hasin Jahan and ₹2.5 lakh to daughter Aaira. The court acknowledged Shami’s high-profile cricketing career and income while issuing the directive.

Hasin Jahan’s Ongoing Accusations

Hasin Jahan has been vocal about her dissatisfaction with Shami’s attitude towards parenting and financial responsibilities. In a recent interview, she claimed that Shami “does not care” and “has not been fulfilling his duties as a father.”

However, Shami’s post on Aaira’s birthday paints a different picture, one of longing, regret, and deep affection.

Shami’s Cricketing Commitment

While personal issues continue to challenge him, Shami has remained a key figure in Indian cricket. He played a vital role in India’s recent campaigns and is expected to lead the bowling attack in the upcoming series, including the 2025 Border-Gavaskar Trophy and WTC fixtures.
