Shoaib Malik Ties the Knot with Pakistani Actress Sana Javed Amid Speculation of Marital Issues with Sania Mirza.
Shoaib Malik, a seasoned Pakistani cricketer, has tied the knot with Pakistani actor Sana Javed. This announcement comes amidst speculation about his divorce from Indian tennis icon Sania Mirza. Malik shared the news on Saturday through a post on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). The post includes photos from their wedding ceremony, accompanied by the caption: “And we created you in pairs.”
There had been ongoing rumors about Malik and Javed being romantically involved for some time. The speculation gained momentum when the former Pakistan captain extended birthday wishes to the actress last year, sharing a picture of the two with the caption, “Happy Birthday Buddy.”
The 41-year-old individual also expressed solidarity with Javed when the Pyaare Afzal actress faced criticism for supposedly displaying rude behavior towards junior colleagues and makeup artists on the set. In a tweet from March 2022, the person stated that they have known Sana Javed for a considerable period and have collaborated with her on several occasions. From their personal encounters, they affirmed that Javed has consistently shown kindness and courtesy towards them and those in their vicinity.
Malik’s wedding announcement caught everyone off guard on both sides of the border amidst speculations about a potential divorce from Mirza. The couple had initially tied the knot in 2010 in Hyderabad in a traditional Muslim ceremony, followed by a Walima ceremony in Sialkot, Pakistan. They are also parents to a son named Izhaan, who was born in 2018.
The exact reasons for the strain in Sania and Shoaib’s relationship around the first half of 2021 are unknown. However, based on their social media activity, they used to be active on Instagram, regularly sharing pictures and stories of their family adventures, especially in Dubai with their child. Gradually, their social media presence diminished. In the past year, there were reports of the couple collaborating for a TV show, which eventually became “The Mirza Malik Show” on Spotify. The show featured them hosting various celebrities in episodes lasting around 40 minutes.
Recently, Sania posted a cryptic message on her Instagram, sparking renewed speculations about a possible divorce from Shoaib. Her post emphasized the challenges of marriage and divorce, encouraging people to choose their battles wisely. She compared various aspects of life, highlighting that each choice comes with its own difficulties, urging individuals to make thoughtful decisions.
This is Shoaib Malik’s second marriage according to official records. However, before marrying Sania Mirza, there were previous claims that Malik had a marriage with Ayesha Siddiqui, which he denied. The controversy arose during his wedding to Mirza, with allegations of a previous marriage. Ayesha, along with her family, brought the issue to national attention. According to Malik, his involvement with Ayesha was a case of fraud.
Their connection began in the early 2000s through phone calls, with Ayesha presenting herself as a fan of Shoaib. Despite developing feelings for each other, meeting in person was continually thwarted by Ayesha. In 2002, when Malik went to Hyderabad to meet her, Ayesha claimed an urgent trip to Saudi Arabia. Three years later, just before the families were supposed to meet, Ayesha said she had to leave for the USA.
While Ayesha suggested a telephonic ‘Nikah,’ Malik insisted on a traditional ceremony involving both families. As it unfolded, the person in the photographs and the one he spoke to were different. Malik sent a legal notice to Ayesha’s father, M.A. Siddiqui. However, the controversy continued as Ayesha accused Malik of an intimate relationship, claiming she was pregnant during their ‘marriage,’ which ended in a
