Cricketer Shoaib Malik weds Sana Javed 

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan cricket star Shoaib Malik married popular actor Sana Javed amid rumours of his separation with former India tennis player Sania Mirza.

Shoaib Malik took to social media to share photos from their wedding ceremony on Saturday, January 20.

“Alhamdullilah. And We created you in pairs,” wrote the 41-year-old cricketer on his ‘X’ account. 

There were already rumours of Malik and Javed dating before the cricketer fueled the speculations after he wished the actress a happy birthday last year. The caption on the Instagram post read: “Happy Birthday Buddy,” along with a picture of the two.

The 41-year-old cricketer had also come in support of Sana Javed when the Pyaare Afzal actress was slammed for an alleged rude behaviour towards juniors and make-up artists on the set.

“I have known Sana Javed for quite some time now and have had the opportunity to work with her multiple times, from my personal experience I can only say that she has always been kind & courteous towards me & the people around us,” Malik had tweeted back in March 2022.

Soon after the announcement, Sana Javed changed her Instagram bio to “Sana Shoaib Malik”. 

Sana was previously married to Sana Umair Jaswal. Their marriage had hit a rough patch at the end of last year.

Both Sana Javed and Umair Jaswal have removed all traces of their couple pictures from social media.

Sania Mirza’s reaction

Sania Mirza, Shoaib Malik’s ex wife, only on Wednesday, shared a cryptic post, sparking rumours of her divorce with Shoaib Malik.

“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 wise.”
