Shoaib Malik Getting Married to Pakistani Actor Has Indians Spewing Hate: 'Feel For Sania Mirza'

In a surprising turn of events, seasoned Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik exchanged vows with Pakistani actor Sana Javed, sparking a wave of speculation surrounding his rumoured divorce from Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza. The cricketer took to ‘X’, formerly known as Twitter, on a Saturday to share glimpses of their wedding ceremony, leaving both sides of the border in shock. As discussions unfolded, Indians expressed their disapproval and unleashed brutal criticism, questioning Malik’s decision to engage in a ‘second’ marriage despite his existing marital ties with Mirza on paper.

One disapproving user remarked, “That women (woman) legit opposed her entire nation and married you. People questioned her national commitment and called her names. People spewed hate on her and continue to do so just cause she married. And you cheat on her like this. Wow man. Wow. Men.” Another voice chimed in, highlighting Mirza’s resilience, “This incredible woman Sania Mirza went against the grain of her entire nation to be with him, enduring heaps of hate and criticism. And what did he do in return? You betray her trust by cheating. It’s just not right.”

A straightforward Desi comment encapsulated the sentiment, “Our sania fought with the entire nation to get married with this CLOWN.”

As the controversy unfolded, memes flooded in from the Indian side, with Malik becoming the target of relentless trolling post his wedding.

Delving into his personal life, Malik and Mirza tied the knot in 2010 in Hyderabad, following a traditional Muslim ceremony, and later celebrated a Walima ceremony in Sialkot, Pakistan. The couple welcomed a son, Izhaan, in 2018. While the details of their relationship cracks remain undisclosed, speculation suggests a rift emerged around the first half of 2021, leading to the latest chapter in Malik’s love life.

Earlier in the week, Mirza added fuel to divorce speculations by sharing a cryptic post on Instagram. Her words pondered the difficulties of marriage and divorce, urging people to choose their challenges wisely.

On the record, Malik’s recent nuptials mark his second trip down the aisle. However, the cricket veteran’s past is not devoid of controversy. Before his marriage to Mirza, he was entangled in rumours of a previous marriage to Ayesha Siddiqui, a claim he vehemently denied. The soap opera of allegations and denials had unfolded on national television, with Malik eventually dismissing the episode involving Ayesha as nothing more than a case of fraud.

Life, it seems, is as unpredictable and intriguing as a cricket match.
