Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik has come under fire following his high-profile divorce from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza and subsequent marriage to actress Sana Javed. Reports of Malik’s alleged marital infidelities have led to heavy criticism. A podcast broadcasted on Samaa TV claimed that Malik had been involved in a three-year affair with Javed. The podcast’s producer revealed that whenever Malik appeared on a TV show, he insisted on Javed being invited as well. Despite efforts to save the marriage, the divorce took place. Mirza and her family became aware of the affair in 2023, but their attempts to reconcile were unsuccessful. The news of the divorce broke when Malik posted a photo on Instagram with his new wife. Mirza had opted for a ‘khula’ from her husband, which allows a woman to unilaterally divorce her husband in Islam. Mirza has chosen not to publicly comment on the divorce. However, she recently shared a reflective photo on Instagram, and fans and well-wishers have praised her for her dignity and resilience. Mirza and Malik got married in 2010, and it was Malik’s second marriage. His first marriage was to Ayesha/Maha Siddiqui, a teacher from Hyderabad.
