Emerging actor and social media influencer Dua Zahra has expressed her admiration for Pakistan's star cricketer Babar Azam - revealing that he is her only crush.

In an interview with a private TV entertainment show, Dua admitted her fondness for cricket and, in particular, the former national team captain.

“The one and only Babar Azam. I have a huge crush on him, and I don’t like when people troll him,” she said, urging critics to refrain from targeting the star batter. “I don’t like any other cricketer.”

Zahra, who has gained recognition for her work in the entertainment industry, also spoke about her personal life and future plans. “I’m happily single and have never been happily committed. I don’t believe in relationships but in marriage,” she remarked.

When asked about the qualities she seeks in an ideal life partner, the model emphasized honesty and loyalty. “I want someone who is supportive, honest, and genuine. That is my only strict requirement. I can’t share my guy, so he must not lie or hide things from me,” she said.

She further added that while looks were not a priority, compatibility was essential. “He should be good enough to look compatible next to me. Finances are not an issue; I can earn and manage myself.”

Zahra also mentioned her passion for cricket, stating that her future partner must share the same interest.

Her remarks come at a time when Babar Azam, currently part of Pakistan’s squad for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, has been under scrutiny for his recent form.

The former captain continues to be one of Pakistan’s most celebrated cricketers, enjoying immense popularity both on and off the field.

Zahra is not the first celebrity to have been linked to Babar Azam in public discussions.

Last year, actress Nazish Jahangir made headlines when, during a Q&A session on Instagram, she was asked about the possibility of accepting a marriage proposal from the cricketer. Jahangir’s response—"I would have to decline"—sparked a backlash from Babar’s supporters, leading to a wave of trolling against the actress on social media.
