Forty-seven years ago, I embarked on a journey with the love of my life, Syed Kirmani. Little did I know that I was not only marrying an exceptional cricketer but also an extraordinary human being.
As a wife, I’ve been blessed to witness Jaani (as I lovingly call him) unwavering dedication, perseverance, and passion for cricket. His first test century was scored after marriage and the 1983 world cup was brought home with one of his best performances till date.
His remarkable career is a testament to his hard work and resilience. However, it’s his compassion, empathy, and kindness that make him an exceptional partner and father.
Kiri’s unconditional love and devotion to the family are unparalleled. He has been a rock, supporting us through life’s ups and downs. Our children,Nishath,Mehnaz and Sadiq adore him, and he has been an incredible role model, teaching them valuable life lessons.
I cherish the memories of our journey together – the triumphs, the setbacks, and the quiet moments. Kiri’s humility, integrity,his eye for perfection and generosity inspire me every day.
As a father,Kiri has been selfless, always putting our children’s needs before his own. His guidance, patience, and encouragement have shaped them into compassionate and confident individuals.I feel grateful for the love, laughter, and adventures we’ve shared.
Jaani,,, you are an exceptional husband, father, and grandparent. I’m blessed to have you by my side.Thank you for being my rock, my confidant, and my best friend.
With all my love and many more live’s of togetherness ♾️🪬♾️
