Rumors about Shoaib Malik’s divorce with Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza surfaced, and the veteran cricketer from Pakistan married Pakistani actor Sana Javed. Malik announced the news on Saturday via a post on X, the platform that was formerly known as Twitter. The message reads, “And we created you in pairs.” The post includes images from their wedding.
For a time now, there had been rumors that Malik was seeing Javed. However, when the former captain of Pakistan sent a birthday greeting to the actress last year, along with a photo of the two, he added fuel to the fire.
When the Pyaare Afzal actress was criticized for allegedly acting rudely with juniors and makeup artists on the set, the 41-year-old also came out in support of Javed. “I have known Sana Javed for quite some time now and have had the opportunity to work with her multiple times, from my personal experience I can only say that she has always been kind & courteous towards me & the people around us,” Malik wrote on March 20, 2022.
On both sides of the border, Malik’s wedding post was unexpected given the rumors of his divorce from Mirza. The couple wed in a customary Muslim ceremony in Hyderabad in 2010 and then celebrated their Walima in Sialkot, Pakistan. Izhaan, Malik and Mirza’s kid, was also born in 2018.
Although the exact moment their relationship broke down is unknown, it is thought to have happened around the first part of 2021. Based on their social media activity, Sania and Shoaib continued to be active on Instagram, sharing photos and stories about the two of them traveling the world and taking family photos on Dubai beaches. But with time, their social media mobility became more restricted. Sania and Shoaib were rumored to be working together on a TV show last year. Eventually, this was confirmed when Spotify debuted The Mirza Malik show, in which the two welcomed a number of celebrities for 40-minute episodes.
The third marriage of Shoaib Malik ?
This is Malik’s second marriage as of record. Having said that, the cricket player disputed reports that Malik had wed Ayesha Siddiqui before to his marriage to Sania. Allegations that Malik was already married disrupted his wedding ceremony with Mirza. On national television, Ayesha, her family, and her sister Maha had intensified the situation. Malik himself acknowledged that the entire chapter with Ayesha was a simple case of deception.
Early in 2000, the two spoke on the phone, with Ayesha identifying herself as a fan of Shoaib. Malik acknowledged that as the two spoke frequently, they began to feel something for one another, but Ayesha would never be accessible when Shoaib wanted to meet her. When Malik traveled to Hyderabad in 2002 to meet her, Ayesha informed him that she had to take an immediate flight to Saudi Arabia. Three years later, Malik and his family received the news that Ayesha needed to travel to the United States, the day before they were scheduled to meet the family.
Malik insisted on having a full-fledged ceremony with the families there and able to participate, despite Ayesh’s desire for the cricketer to have a telephone “Nikah.” It turned out that the female he was talking to and the one he had seen pictures of were not the same person. Even though Malik had served the father MA Siddiqui with a legal notice, the story did not end there. Ayesha accused Shoaib of having a “intimate relationship” and made serious accusations against him. Additionally, she stated that during their “marriage,” she became pregnant, but it ended in miscarriage.
