The seasoned Pakistani cricketer, Shoaib Malik, has recently exchanged vows with Pakistani actress Sana Javed, stirring speculation amidst rumors of his separation from Indian tennis icon Sania Mirza.
Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed
Sana Javed, born on March 25, 1993, is a celebrated Pakistani actress known for her work in Urdu television. Debuting in 2012 with ‘Shehr-e-Zaat,’ she garnered fame through various serials and rose to prominence with the lead role in the romantic drama ‘Khaani.’
Speculations of Malik’s involvement with Javed had circulated for some time, gaining momentum when the former Pakistan captain extended birthday wishes to the actress last year. The 41-year-old also defended Javed amid criticism for alleged mistreatment on set towards juniors and makeup artists.
On January 20, 2024, Malik shared images from his wedding ceremony with Javed on social media, accompanied by the caption: “And we created you in pairs.”
Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza
Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza exchanged vows on April 12, 2010, in a traditional Muslim ceremony in Hyderabad, India, followed by a Walima ceremony in Sialkot, Pakistan. Their family expanded with the arrival of their son, Izhaan Mirza Malik, in 2018.
Despite recent rumors circulating about their marital discord, Sania Mirza’s Instagram stories hinted at potential separation. A story reading, “Divorce is hard,” added fuel to the speculations. Both Sania and Shoaib have since removed images of each other from their social media accounts, intensifying reports of an impending divorce.
Notwithstanding the rumors, recent reports suggest that the couple is committed to co-parenting Izhaan.
