Nothing was more surprising for us than this, former Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik has tied the knot with popular TV actress Sana Javed during a private wedding ceremony.
Shoaib Malik has shared the hot update regarding his second marriage through uploading wedding pictures of himself and Sana Javed on his Instagram handle.
Pakistan cricket star Shoaib Malik married popular Pakistani 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.
Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed were rumoured to be dating and the Pakistan cricketer added fuel to fire when he wished the actress on her birthday last year. "Happy Birthday Buddy," Shoaib Malik had written, sharing a photo of them together on his Instagram page.
Sana Javed also shared photos from their wedding ceremony on social media on Saturday. Fans of the star cricketer were taken aback as rumours of his separation had dominated headlines on both sides of the border.
Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza married in a traditional Muslim ceremony in Hyderabad, India in 2010, followed by a Walima ceremony in Sialkot, Pakistan. Izhaan, the couple’s first child, was born in 2018.
Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza kept tight-lipped about their private lives even as speculation was rife about their separation. Sania Mirza, only on Wednesday, shared a cryptic post, sparking rumours of her divorce with Shoaib Malik.
Her post read: "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."
Notably, the rumours died down a bit when Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik celebrated their son's birthday in Dubai last year. However, the rumours resurfaced this year when the Pakistani cricketer updated his Instagram bio and removed the chunk that read: “Husband to a Superwoman @mirzasaniar.”
