A few days ago, after Sania Mirza posted a mysterious message regarding marriage and divorce, rumours regarding the divorce of Shoaib Malik, the former captain of the Pakistan cricket team, and the top Indian tennis player reappeared. “Getting married is difficult. Divorce is difficult.
Choose your hard,” the post from Sania said. Shoaib Malik shocked everyone on January 20, 2024, by sharing photos from his wedding to Pakistani actress Sana Javed on social media. Sana Javed also posted photos from her wedding to Shoaib Malik on Instagram.
Even on Instagram, she went by Sana Shoaib Malik instead of her name. Shoaib Malik, 41, is currently in his third marriage.
Shoaib Malik And Sania Mirza’s Divorce
Sania Mirza, a tennis star, spoke up about her divorce from Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik on Sunday. They have been separated for some months, according to a statement that Mirza’s family issued on Sunday. She has, however, also sent her best wishes to her ex-husband and asked that rumours about their relationship be avoided.
“Sania has always kept the world in the dark about her personal life. Even so, she feels obliged to reveal today that she and Shoaib had been separated for a few months. She sends her best wishes for Shoaib’s next trip!
In light of this delicate period in her life, we would like to respectfully request that all of her admirers and well-wishers respect her right to privacy by abstaining from any speculative behaviour,” the statement read. It should be mentioned that Sania and their five-year-old son Izaan reside in India.
Former Pakistani cricket captain Shoaib Malik revealed on Saturday that he and well-known actor Sana Javed had married the wedding in Karachi. The cricket player posted a picture of himself and his new bride on social media along with the caption, “And We created you in pairs.”
Imran Mirza, Sania’s father, told PTI that “it was a ‘khula,'” alluding to a Muslim woman’s prerogative to unilaterally divorce her spouse. The divorce of Sania and Shoaib has been rumoured since 2022, so the news hasn’t come as a surprise. On their son’s birthday, though, they were spotted together.
They had previously lived in Dubai and were married in Hyderabad in April 2010. However, amid the coronavirus epidemic in 2020, Sana Javed had already wed singer Umair Jaiswal in a modest ceremony.
Journey Of Shoaib Malik And Sania Mirza
According to rumours, Shoaib had set up a meeting for Sania, which resulted in their first encounter taking place in Australia. In her autobiography, “Ace Against Odds,” Sania even disclosed that she first met Shoaib when they were both going through a trying period in their careers.
Before being married to Shoaib Malik, Sania Mirza was also engaged to her childhood buddy Sohrab Mirza. Shoaib Malik was previously married to Ayesha Siddique. At Hyderabad’s Taj Krishna Hotel, on April 12, 2010, Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza tied the knot in a customary Muslim ceremony.
In Sialkot, Pakistan, a Walima ceremony took place after it. The story of the cross-border romance that ended in a public marriage made headlines at the time. 2018 saw the couple’s son, Izhaan Mirza Malik, be born, eight years later.
But a few years after their nuptials, when Sania and Shoaib were living apart, there were whispers that everything wasn’t well in their union. Additionally, there were rumors that in 2023 Shoaib would date Pakistani actress Sana Javed.
When Shoaib wished Sana a happy birthday on social media, they became even more intense. In addition, Shoaib and Sania altered their bios and took down their joint photos from their individual social media accounts. “Husband to a superwoman Sania Mirza” was the previous description on Shoaib’s Instagram account before it was modified to “Father to One True Blessing.”
However, the rumours were quickly put to rest when Shoaib and Sania celebrated their son’s birthday in Dubai and went on to host the Dubai-based TV program “Mirza-Malik.”
However, according to the most recent sources, Sania Mirza and Shoaib are no longer together. According to a PTI report, “it was a ‘khula’,” which refers to a Muslim woman’s right to unilaterally divorce her spouse, as stated by Sania Mirza’s father, Imran Mirza, to PTI.
