In a surprising turn of events, the long-standing marriage between Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza and former Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik has officially come to an end, as Malik unveils his new life partner through a second marriage.
Former cricket captain Shoaib Malik took to social media on Saturday, January 20, to share pictures from his recent Nikah with Pakistani actress Sana Javed, bringing an unexpected conclusion to his relationship with Sania Mirza. The announcement came just two days after Sania hinted at the challenges of both divorce and marriage in a social media post.
Shoaib Malik’s decision to marry Sana Javed marks the end of a 14-year union with Sania Mirza, whom he married in 2010 amidst controversies surrounding their cross-border relationship. The couple had faced scrutiny before tying the knot, and they even participated together in an Indian reality dance show.
Sana Javed, at 28 years old, is Shoaib Malik’s chosen life partner for the second time, having previously been married to Umair Jaswal in 2020, a relationship that lasted only three years. Shoaib Malik’s swift move to a second marriage with Sana Javed adds another layer to the intriguing twists in his personal life.
The abrupt end to Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik’s marriage raises questions about the challenges celebrity couples face, emphasizing the complexities even in seemingly stable relationships on the public stage.
