Shoaib Malik marriage: In a surprising turn of events, Pakistan cricket star Shoaib Malik announced his marriage to renowned Pakistani actress Sana Javed, amidst swirling rumors about his separation from former Indian tennis star Sania Mirza. The news broke when Malik shared photos from their nuptials on social media on Saturday, January 20, confirming the couple's union.
The relationship between Shoaib and Sana had been the subject of speculation for some time, especially after Malik's public birthday wish to Javed last year, which he posted on Instagram with a photo of the two, adding to the rumors. Javed reciprocated by posting photos from their wedding, catching many fans and followers off guard as the whispers of Malik's separation from Sania had been making headlines across India and Pakistan.
Shoaib and Sania's marriage in 2010 was a high-profile event, celebrated with traditional Muslim ceremonies in Hyderabad, India, and a Walima in Sialkot, Pakistan. The couple welcomed their first child, Izhaan, in 2018. Despite the public interest in their marriage, both Malik and Mirza remained reserved about their private lives, even amidst rampant speculation about their relationship status. Mirza's recent cryptic social media post only fueled these rumors.
"Marriage is hard. Divorce is hard. Choose your hard. Obesity is hard. Being fit is hard. Choose your hard. Being in debt is hard. Being financially disciplined is hard. Choose your hard. Communication is hard. Not communicating is hard. Choose your hard. Life will never be easy. It will always be hard. But we can choose our hard. Pick wisely," Sania wrote.
The speculation of their separation had briefly subsided last year when Mirza and Malik celebrated their son Izhaan's birthday together in Dubai. However, rumors resurfaced this year when Malik altered his Instagram bio, removing the description that identified him as “Husband to a Superwoman @mirzasaniar.”
Malik's marriage to Javed marks a new chapter in the cricketer's life, occurring against the backdrop of ongoing rumors about his relationship with Sania Mirza. This development in Malik's personal life has captured significant media attention, reflecting the continuous public fascination with the personal affairs of celebrities in the sports and entertainment industries.
The netizens, however, reacted rather hilariously to Shoaib's announcement. While a few fans congratulated the Pakistan cricketer for tying the knot with Sana, others trolled the veteran batter.
One fan commented, "tum logo se to ek shadi bhi dhang se nahi sambhali jati hai... fir best couple banke ghumte rehte .. clowns."
Another fan commented, "Sharam tum dono ko magar nahi ati."
