- Zaheer Abbas and Rita Luthra
Another cross-border relationship that went the long road to find its way. Former Pakistani cricketer Zaheer Abbas was one of the best players the country has ever produced. He met an Indian lady called Rita Luthra, who was studying interior designing, during his county stint with Gloucestershire, and the two fell in love. They married in 1988 and have never been involved in any cross-border issues. After marriage, Rita changed her name to Shamina Abbas.
