During the conversation, while talking about his relationship with Shoaib Akhtar, he said that he is a very emotional person, he makes fun of himself, but if someone else makes a joke, it is considered bad.
Saqlain Mushtaq, recalling past memories, said that there was a time when Shoaib Akhtar had borrowed 250 rupees from him to buy clothes, which he has not returned till now.
He said that at that time both of them came to play the Karachi match with a team of 25 people, at that time two players had to stay in one room, I and Shoaib were in the same room.
He said that at that time we did not get daily allowance, we used to leave the house with one and a half to two thousand rupees, I had 250 rupees left of this amount while Shoaib Akhtar’s money was exhausted. However, after watching a movie, Shoaib Akhtar wanted to buy a new pant shirt, so he bought those clothes with the remaining money.
Saqlain Mushtaq further said that Shoaib Akhtar was very fond of shopping, other players of the team were also afraid that he would ask him to borrow money.
