Congratulations are in order for cricketer Shoaib Akhtar and actor Sana Javed, who have tied the knot in an intimate ceremony.The couple announced their marriage on social media.
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 Pakistan actor on her birthday last year. “Happy Birthday Buddy,” Shoiab 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.
In 2010, Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza tied the knot in a customary Muslim wedding in Hyderabad, India. A Walima ceremony was then held in Sialkot, Pakistan. 2018 saw the birth of the couple’s first child, Izhaan.
While rumors of Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza’s split were rampant, the couple remained silent about their personal life. Only on Wednesday did Sania Mirza tweet a mysterious message that gave rise to rumors that she and Shoaib Malik were divorcing.
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.”
“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.”
