Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza Announce Marriage

Indian tennis star Sania Mirza’s father has confirmed that his daughter is to wed Pakistani Cricketer Shoaib Malik in April.

The Indo-Pak sports couple will live in Dubai after marriage, reports say.

Sania’s father Imran Mirza confirmed the wedding to media.

As per reports, the two sports stars have been in an affair for the last six months, which had led to Sania’s earlier engagement to break.

Sources said that the mother of Shoaib Malik went to Indian city of Hyderabad Deccan where she met with the family of Sania Mirza and finalized Shoaib and Sania’s marriage.

This may be recalled that earlier engagements of both Malik and Mirza had come to an end.

Malik was engaged with Ayesha Siddiqui, also from Hyderabad Deccan on June 3, 2002, while Sania was engaged to childhood friend Sohrab Khan which ended in January 2010.

The wedding ceremony of Shoaib Malik and Sania Mirza will take place in India while the valima reception will be hosted by Malik on April 16 or 17 in Lahore.

“I desire to get married soon. You will soon get some good news but it depends on my family. I fully expect to get married this year,” Shoaib had said in a recent interaction with the media.

Asked if it would be an arranged marriage, he said, “No can say what will happen, but it will take place with the concurrence of my family.”
