Karachi, Pakistan – Former Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik made headlines on Saturday as he announced his marriage to Pakistani actress Sana Javed, confirming his separation from retired Indian tennis star Sania Mirza. The joyous pictures of the nuptials shared by Shoaib on his Instagram created quite a buzz. However, a report from The Pakistani Daily has now raised questions about the absence of Shoaib’s family members at the wedding.
According to The Pakistani Daily, Shoaib’s sisters have serious concerns about his divorce with Sania Mirza. The report suggests that the tennis star grew tired of her ex-husband’s alleged extra-marital affairs, leading to their separation. This marks Shoaib’s third marriage, as he had divorced his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui in order to marry Sania Mirza. The couple tied the knot in Hyderabad in April 2010 and resided in Dubai. They welcomed their son Izaan in 2018, and he currently lives with Sania.
In light of Shoaib’s recent marriage, sources close to the family confirmed that Sania initiated the divorce proceedings. It was a ‘khula,’ a term referring to the right of a Muslim woman to unilaterally divorce her husband. Sania had previously hinted at a possible separation through a cryptic social media post, emphasizing the challenges of marriage and the need to make difficult choices.
Shoaib’s new wife, Sana Javed, is a popular actress who has acted in numerous hit drama serials and Pakistani films. She had previously married singer Umair Jaiswal in 2020, but reports of their divorce surfaced two months ago.
The marriage of Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed has captured the attention of fans and media alike. As speculation and questions surrounding the divorce continue, many are eager to see how this new relationship unfolds for the retired cricketer and his actress bride.
