Pakistani cricket sensation Babar Azam has once again found himself in the spotlight — but this time, it’s not due to his cricketing achievements.
A recently surfaced video featuring Babar alongside actress and model Zubab Rana has gone viral, igniting a wave of reactions across social media platforms.

The footage, seemingly taken at a public gathering, shows Babar seated next to Zubab Rana. However, what grabbed viewers’ attention was his visibly awkward expression and noticeably reserved body language.
The clip prompted a flood of comments online. Some users poked fun at his demeanor, joking, “Babar, control your emotions!” and “He’s giving hairstylist vibes.” Others interpreted his reaction as discomfort or shyness, suggesting he may not be accustomed to being close to celebrities from the entertainment world.
One critic remarked, “Babar doesn’t even have the confidence to be a superstar — that’s disappointing,” while another said, “He looks either jealous or uneasy.”
At the same time, many fans came to Babar’s defense, saying his reaction was a reflection of his usual reserved and professional personality.
The video has sparked a wider conversation online about the contrast in public image between sports figures and entertainment celebrities, as well as the scrutiny public personalities face over their body language and behavior.
Though Babar, known for his composed attitude, has not commented on the video, his loyal supporters continue to back him — especially during this challenging phase in his cricketing career.
