Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik’s recent marital saga has captured widespread attention. Fueled by swirling reports of relationship troubles, their relationship became gossip fodder within no time. Since last year, people have been speculating on a lot of things about their relationship. Sania’s removal of Instagram images with Shoaib and the posting of a cryptic letter hinting at a divorce, which sparked media coverage and public astonishment, increased the buzz.
However, Shoaib Malik unexpectedly put a full stop to this speculation by revealing that he got married for the third time, this time to Pakistani actress Sana Javed.

While the photos of the newlywed couple embracing each other went viral, Sania’s reaction to them also gained a lot of attention. Notably, her father said that Sania had given unilateral divorce through “khula,” as permitted by Islamic law, to Shoaib Malik.

While many people express surprise and dissatisfaction in response to the newlyweds’ revelation, many people also wish them well in their newfound happiness. Among others is former Pakistani cricket player Shahid Afridi. However, he wished him in his own style, which made his congratulations go viral on social media.

Malik’s third marriage has drawing criticism from fans and his own family.
Notably, the sister of the former cricketer revealed that none of his family members were present at the wedding. According to reports, Sania Mirza’s displeasure with Malik’s purported extramarital relationships played a role in their divorce.
Prior to his well-publicized union with Sania Mirza in 2010, Shoaib Malik had already divorced Ayesha Siddiqui. After marriage, Shoaib and Sania shifted to Dubai and the couple was blessed with a son named Izhaan Malik Mirza.
But in 2022, rumors about the split surfaced following Malik’s picture shoot with Pakistani beauty Ayesha Umar. However, as we all know now the real trouble turned out to be the actress Sana Javed. Meanwhile, Sana Javed, before marrying Shoaib Malik had previously been married to musician Umair Jaswal. However, the couple got divorced in 2023 after three years of marriage.
