In addition, many people questioned whether the big cat was the pet of Afridi. There were many people who raised questions after witnessing the appearance of a lion in a picture.

So much so, they even termed the act as illegal. It remains to be seen how the Pakistan government reacts to this. You rarely see a human being with lions. So, it was strange for all the fans to see a lion behind her daughter in the photograph.
