Wasim Akram has grabbed attention for an unexpected reason. Pakistan’s cricket legend is on the news because of the enormous cost he bore for a grooming session for his pet cat.

While in Australia for commentary duties during the ODI series between Pakistan and Australia, Akram shared this surprising story, which quickly became a topic of interest.

During a live commentary session, Akram explained that he had taken his cat for a haircut and was expecting a regular grooming fee. However, the final bill was an astonishing 1,000 Australian dollars (around 55,000).

“I had a cat haircut yesterday. I have to pay 1000 Australian dollars for the cat’s haircut. They have got to sedate the cat, they have to keep the cat, then they have to feed the act. I said about 200 cats in Pakistan can get haircut for this money,” Wasim Akram said in a video doing rounds on social media.

Akram detailed the breakdown of costs, explaining that what seemed like a simple haircut had included a series of procedures.

The charges covered 105 AUD ( 5,000) for a medical check-up, 305 AUD ( 15,000) for anaesthesia to sedate the cat safely, 40 AUD ( 2,000) for the haircut itself, 120 AUD ( 6,600) for after-care and 251 AUD ( 13,800) for a cardio test. He admitted that the total expense was far beyond what he had anticipated for a routine grooming session.

What can you buy for 55,000?

Several fine-quality laptops are available for under 55,000. You can also buy an Apple iPhone 13, iPhone 14 Plus or iPhone 15. You may also go for an LED TV with a screen of around 43-55 inches.

Weekend getaways in most travel destinations around India are possible for two people, in case you don’t want to opt for a luxury trip.
