Even though there are many rumours that Pakistani cricket player Shoaib Malik and Indian tennis player Sania Mirza are no longer together, Malik married actress Sana Javed. On Saturday, January 20, Shoaib and Sana both posted pictures from their wedding.
Amidst speculations of his breakup with former India tennis player Sania Mirza, Pakistani cricket star Shoaib Malik wed well-known actor Sana Javed. On Saturday, January 20, Shoaib Malik posted pictures from their wedding ceremony on social media.
Sana Javed and Shoaib Malik were reported to be dating, and the cricket player from Pakistan fanned the flames by wishing the actor on her birthday the previous year. “Happy Birthday, Buddy,” Shoiab Malik posted on his Instagram page along with a picture of the two of them.
On Saturday, Sana Javed posted pictures from their wedding ceremony on social media. Following reports of his split from Sania Mirza dominating headlines on both sides of the border, fans of the star cricketer were shocked. Notably, Shoaib Malik wed tennis player Sania Mirza later that year after divorcing Ayesha Siddiqui in 2010.
Remarkably, Sana Javed modified her name to Sana Shoaib Malik in the bio section of her Instagram account. Sana Javed wed singer Umar Jaswal in 2020; the two parted ways in 2023.
WHAT WAS THE CRYPTIC POST BY SANIA MIRZA?
While rumours of Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza’s split were rampant, the couple remained silent about their personal life. Only on Wednesday did Sania Mirza publish a mysterious message that gave rise to suspicions that she and Shoaib Malik were divorcing.
“Getting married is difficult. Divorce is difficult. Select your hard. Being obese is difficult. Maintaining fitness is difficult. Select your hard. Having debt is difficult. Maintaining financial discipline is difficult. Select your hard. It’s difficult to communicate. It’s difficult to not communicate. Select your hard. There will never be an easy life. It’s going to be difficult forever. We may select our hard, though. Make sensible choices.”
In 2010, Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza tied the knot in a customary Muslim wedding in Hyderabad, India. A Walima ceremony was then held in Sialkot, Pakistan. 2018 saw the birth of the couple’s first child, Izhaan.
Remarkably, when Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik celebrated their son’s birthday in Dubai last year, the rumours somewhat subsided. When Sania and Shoaib co-hosted the “Mirza-Malik” TV programme from Dubai, they put an end to the allegations.
But when Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza updated their social media bios towards the end of the year, the allegations reappeared.
Shoaib Malik’s Instagram bio was modified in August 2023 from “Husband to a superwoman Sania Mirza” to just “Father to One True Blessing.”
Remarkably, it appears that Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik deleted pictures of each other from their social media accounts.
