Pakistan's former skipper Shoaib Malik has announced his marriage to actress Sana Javed, confirming the rumours over his divorce from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, a development which left netizens from the two nations in a tizzy.

Meanwhile, several Pakistani netizens expressed support for Mirza and said she was 'too good' for him.

One X user named Malaika Malik posted: " I no longer believe in love marriage. Think what Sania Mirza must be going through. Allah should have given you better than him. What happened was good. @MirzaSania."

Another user named Parishay Hussain wrote on X: "Sania Mirza fought the entire nation and faced hate for many years just to marry this clown."
Lahore-based X user Saman Tariq wrote: "Can I just say Sania Mirza was always too good for him?"

Sania Mirza and Shoaib married in 2010.

The couple welcomed their baby boy Izhaan Mirza Malik in 2018.

Malik shared images of their marriage on Instagram on Saturday.

He wrote: " Alhamdullilah ."

Sania Mirza's father reveals details about her divorce

Sania Mirza's father, Imran Mirza, has said that the tennis star unilaterally divorced the Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik.

Imran Mirza’s reaction comes after Shoaib Malik officially announced his marriage to Pakistani actor Sana on Saturday, dispelling longstanding rumours about their relationship amid speculation surrounding his separation from Sania Mirza.

Imran Mirza said that the separation was initiated by Sania through a process known as 'khula,' which denotes a Muslim woman's right to unilaterally divorce her husband, a report in the media said.

Despite rumours about their separation, both Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik had remained tight-lipped about their personal lives.

However, on January 17, they hinted at marital issues when Sania shared a cryptic post about 'divorce' on Instagram.

Sania Mirza, who is currently part of the Australian Open commentary panel for Indian broadcasters, has not publicly addressed the swirling rumours about their separation.

Son's birthday and talk show

Even as the speculations over Sania and Shoaib’s divorce were doing the rounds, they came together to celebrate their son, Izhaan Mirza Malik's 5th birthday in Dubai last year.

The two sports stars also joined as hosts in a talk show in the UAE last year, displaying their camaraderie beyond their respective sports careers.

Who is Sana Javed?

Sana Javed is a Pakistani actress who made her debut in 2012 with Shehr-e-Zaat and later on, appeared in several serials.

She earned recognition and popularity with her appearance in the romantic drama Khaani.

She also made a strong mark with her appearance in dramas like Ruswai and Dunk.
