Former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik’s recent wedding to actress Sana Javed has sent shockwaves all over the internet, revealing unexpected twists in the love lives of the two public figures.
The surprise ceremony took place on Saturday, leaving many, including those close to the cricketer and actress, astonished.
Speculation surrounding Shoaib Malik’s marriage with tennis star Sania Mirza had been making headlines for some time, with persistent rumors of separation. The narrative took a dramatic turn with the emergence of wedding pictures featuring Shoaib and Sana, confirming the end of Shoaib and Sania’s marriage.
The latest buzz in the celebrity sphere suggests that Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed had been secretly involved in a relationship for almost three years before deciding to tie the knot. In a revealing podcast on Samaa TV, journalist Naeem Hanif disclosed details about the couple’s connection, tracing their initial meeting on a television reality show, Jeeto Pakistan.
Despite being happily married to their respective spouses, Shoaib and Sana allegedly developed a strong bond that continued to flourish. Surprisingly, whenever Shoaib appeared on TV shows, he insisted on having Sana as a guest, further fueling speculation about their connection.
The revelation reportedly led to the end of Shoaib’s marriage with Sania Mirza. Sources indicate that Sania, upon learning of the affair, promptly informed Shoaib’s parents, who flew to Dubai to mediate and salvage the marriage. Unfortunately, despite efforts from family members, including Imran Zafar, Shoaib’s brother-in-law, to reconcile, the couple opted for a divorce.
Shoaib Malik’s family’s absence at his wedding to Sana Javed raised eyebrows, hinting at disapproval. The cricketer’s sister-in-law, Anam Mirza, posted an official statement on Instagram confirming the divorce on behalf of Sania Mirza and her family.
“At this sensitive period of her life, we would like to refrain from indulging in any speculation and to respect her need for privacy,” Anam wrote, addressing the delicate situation.
In a surprising turn of events, two days after Shoaib Malik’s wedding announcement, actress Sana Javed shared romantic pictures with her newly wedded husband. The images captured an intimate moment between the couple, adorned in white flower garlands, on January 20, 2024.
Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza were married in April 2010, hosting ceremonies in both Pakistan and India. The couple welcomed their first child in 2018. Malik’s previous marriage to Ayesha Siddiqui ended in divorce in 2010 after eight years.
Sana Javed, renowned for her role in Ruswai, was previously married to singer Umair Jaswal in 2020.
Neither of Sana or Shoaib had announced their divorce to Umair Jaswal and Sania Mirza prior to their marriage.
