Dua, who is gaining attention in the acting world, also shared a bit about her personal life.
Pakistani actress and social media influencer Dua Zahra has become the talk of the internet after expressing her admiration for cricket star Babar Azam.
Celebrity crush
In a recent interview on a private entertainment show, the young actor spoke openly about her love for cricket and revealed that Babar is her only celebrity crush. “The one and only Babar Azam,” she said with a smile. “I have a huge crush on him, and it really bothers me when people troll him. I don’t like any other cricketer.”
Currently gaining recognition in the acting industry, Dua also talked about her personal life. She described herself as happily single and said she doesn’t believe in casual relationships. “I believe in marriage, not relationships,” she explained, stressing that honesty and loyalty are the most important traits she looks for in a life partner.
She added, “I want someone who is supportive and genuine. I can’t be with someone who lies or hides things from me. Looks aren’t a priority, but I value compatibility. Money doesn’t matter — I can earn and manage myself.”
Her passion for cricket is also strong. Dua mentioned that her future husband should share her love for the game, calling it a “must.”
Her remarks came as Babar Azam, one of Pakistan’s most admired cricketers, prepares for the ICC Champions Trophy amid public debate over his recent form. Despite criticism, he remains a national favorite known for his calm personality and consistent performances.
This is not the first time a celebrity has mentioned Babar Azam. Last year, actress Nazish Jahangir made headlines when she said in an online Q&A that she would decline a marriage proposal from him — a response that drew backlash from his supporters.
Dua Zahra’s candid confession, however, has been met with warmth. Fans praised her honesty and sincerity, calling her comments “sweet and genuine.” Many said her admiration reflects the deep respect and affection Babar continues to inspire among Pakistanis.
