The family of Shoaib Malik, who recently married actor Sana Javed, is reportedly unhappy with the former Pakistan cricket captain’s decision.
Malik was previously married to Indian tennis ace Sania Mirza and the couple have a five-year-old son, Izaan. A few days ago, Mirza had shared a cryptic quote on his Instagram stories, saying, « Divorce is difficult. »
Malik’s family members were not present at the wedding ceremony, and his sister reportedly claimed that Sania Mirza was fed up with the cricketer’s « extramarital affairs ».
About a week ago, Mirza wrote on Instagram, « When something disturbs the peace of your heart, let it go, » along with a photo of herself standing in front of a mirror with her eyes closed.
Malik and Mirza, once a power couple in the sports world, were the subject of separation rumors in recent years, with reports suggesting they had been living apart for more than a year.

This is Malik’s third marriage. He divorced his first wife Ayesha Siddiqui to marry Sania Mirza. Malik and Mirza had married in Hyderabad in April 2010 and were living in Dubai.
Soon after Malik announced his marriage to Sana, a family source told PTI that Sania initiated the divorce. « It was a ‘khula’. I don’t want to comment beyond that, » the source said. Khula refers to a Muslim woman’s right to unilaterally divorce her husband.
Sana Javed is a prominent figure in the Pakistani television industry, working on various notable projects including Zara Yaad Kar. Born in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on March 25, 1993, Javed made his on-screen debut in 2012 in the romantic drama Shehr-e-Zaat, also starring Mahira Khan.
