Despite having an age difference of 10 years between them, Irfan and Safa developed a beautiful bond and eventually got married to each other on February 4, 2016. Only close family members were invited for the ceremony which happened in the divine and iconic town of Mecca. The wedding reception of the adorable couple happened in Vadodara and was attended by top Indian cricketers - RP Singh, VVS Laxman, Parthiv Patel, Piyush Chawla, Gautam Gambhir, and Vinay Kumar among many others.
In December 2016, Safa and Irfan were blessed with a baby boy named Imran. Five years later in December 2021, the couple welcomed their second child and named him Suleiman.

The younger one, Suleiman, is a lively 3-year-old. Irfan, a respected cricket commentator and analyst, frequently shares glimpses of their family life on social media, from vacations to simple moments at home, showcasing a tight-knit and loving unit. The couple's 10th-anniversary celebration was an intimate affair, with Irfan posting a heartfelt tribute to Safa, calling her his "rock" and the "architect of our beautiful family."

She did her schooling at the International Indian School in Jeddah. Soon, Safa developed an interest in modeling and her parents also supported her in her career choice.
Safa worked extremely hard and within a few years, she had become Gulf’s one of the most popular models with striking looks, beauty, and brains. Apart from this, Safa has a lot of interest in nail art and is exceptional in that specific art.
While Safa continues to prioritize her family life, she has also gracefully stepped into the role of a wellness and lifestyle influencer. She occasionally collaborates with premium brands that align with her aesthetic, often focusing on organic wellness, luxury fashion, and mindful parenting. Her keen eye for design, previously expressed through her nail art, now extends to curating her home and personal style. She remains the pillar of support behind Irfan’s successful second innings in cricket media and is deeply involved in the upbringing of their two sons.
While Safa’s public appearances continue to be limited and cherished, Irfan, time and again keeps posting pictures with her on social media, much to the delight of their fans. On the work front, Irfan has solidified his position as a top commentator and cricket expert after announcing his retirement from international cricket.
