Shami on wife Hasin Jahan's allegations: Have always stood by her despite trolling, will do so even now

Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami's wife Hasin Jahan on Wednesday made some sensational allegations against her husband. She stated that Shami is a serial cheater and has been torturing her since several years in their marriage.

On Thursday morning, Shami put forth his stance on the entire matter. Speaking to ANI, the premier Indian fast-bowler said that the accusations against him are false and that he is innocent.

"All these accusations made against me are baseless. They have no meaning. She said that this has been happening since five years, the fact is that we have been married just for four years," Shami said.

"If this (the abuse) has been happening since five years then why did it come out now' Why did it take five years for it to come out' According to me, this is a well thought out conspiracy against me. I want to remain just as normal as you've always seen me. On Holi and every other festival, I've been with my family. Spent time with my daughter and wife. Even after my wife was trolled so much in the past I stood by her. And I would like to stand by her today as well."

When asked about Jahan's allegation that he used a separate mobile phone to chat with other women, Shami responded, "See, neither is that my mobile, nor is that my number, nor is that my chat. So I can never accept something I've never done.

"Everyone knows the relationship I've shared with my family, how happy I was. And it's not as if I'm the only one who knows how my relationship with my wife is, even in South Africa she demanded to go shopping and I took her even though I was with the selectors at that time. Everything was fine. Even after returning we went shopping, we bought jewellery. We celebrated Holi. I don't know what has happened suddenly. I'll let you all know as soon as I find out."

Brushing off the allegations, Shami said that someone is conspiring against him to ruin his career. "All allegations are baseless, it does not have any meaning. Cannot say anything about the case till the time I get to know everything. There is some conspiracy behind this, it may be a conspiracy to spoil my game.

"I tried to contact Hasin but she did not pick up my phone but will meet her soon. The way I am, will stay with her like that forever. I contacted my father in law, he spoke to me very nicely and I think the things will sort out soon," he added.

Married to Shami since 2014, Hasin has alleged that the bowler is having several extra-marital affairs. "Soon after my marriage, I was abused physically and mentally," Hasin told reporters on Wednesday.

Earlier, in a bid to expose the pacer's extra-marital affairs, Hasin posted several screenshots of Messenger and Whatsapp messages on her unverified Facebook wall. Notably the post, which was uploaded from an unverified account, was titled as 'Shami's enjoyment' and had several pictures of the pacer's text messages to multiple women.

"I've done everything he wanted me to do. I left my modelling career, job and also did not step out of the house," Hasin said. She further alleged that Shami's family forced her to marry him and later also tried to kill her. 

"He was planning to abandon me after his South Africa tour by taking away the property and insurance papers. I have been tolerating all this for the past five years. He has been asking for divorce for two years," she said.

Hasin said Shami was only concerned with money and fame. "I'm not going to divorce him till my last breath. I've all evidences against him and will soon drag him to court," she said.
