One of Pakistani entertainment industry’s accomplished actresses, Sana Javed, and ace cricketer Shoaib Malik took the internet by storm with their astonishing wedding announcement on Saturday. The couple, whom nobody saw coming, took to Instagram to formally introduce each other as husband and wife.
The luxurious event, which is reported to have taken place in Karachi a few days prior to the duo’s formal announcement, was attended by the Khaani famed star and Malik’s close knit family members and friends.
This is Malik’s third while Javed’s second wedding. His first marriage was with Ayesha Siddiqui, leading to a divorce in 2010, after which he tied the knot with Indian tennis star Sania Mirza with whom he has a son, Izhaan Mirza Malik. The former couple got married in 2010.
Rumors of their divorce had been rife but the couple squashed any such claims; however, recent developments suggest that the couple have formally divorced each other.
Javed, on the other hand, was married to singer-actor Umair Jaswal. The former duo piqued curiosity and fueled separation rumours after both stars took down pictures of themselves from their official social media handles.
From celebrities to social media users across border, almost everyone on the internet has expressed their opinion on the infidelity rumours and Malik’s third marriage.
“Bahut bahut mubarik dulhaay mian…..May Allah bless you both with health and happiness and a eternally blissful married life,” wrote Fakhr-e-Alam on platform X (formerly known as Twitter).

Tides could turn anytime. Look at Umair Jaswal’s love for Sana Javed but it ended in divorce and her wedding with another man. It must be hard for Jaswal and Sania Mirza but who cares, it’s life. #SanaJaved #ShoaibMalik pic.twitter.com/GeNRbz6PUr

Sania Mirza has suffered for years. She chose this man at the peak of her career, when she could have chosen ANYONE in her country. She literally went against the whole world for this man who constantly cheated on her. Shadi toh ab ki haina pehly cheating ki. Sad! #ShoaibMalik

“You can go to the moon and back for a man and still you can’t guarantee that your man will remain loyal till end. Feeling sorry for Sania Mirza, she is such a lovely lady, she didn’t deserve disloyalty,” wrote on.
