Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik’s recent marriage to actor Sana Javed has sparked controversies, attention, and mixed reactions on social media. It has become a trending topic, drawing varied responses from fans and the general public.
Shoaib Malik’s announcement on X led to heated online discussions, particularly among fans of Shoaib and his former wife, tennis star Sania Mirza. Supporters of Malik have been vocal in defending him against criticism from Mirza’s fans.
The topic gained further traction when it was discussed on a podcast by veteran actor Iffat Omar, featuring Ayesha Omar and Mehar Bano. A video clip from the podcast, shared by Iffat on Instagram, showed Ayesha Omar discussing the mental strain of social media.
In the clip, Ayesha reflected on her past struggles with panic attacks due to social media pressures. She mentioned being wrongly linked romantically to Shoaib Malik, a rumour fueled by a photo shoot in 2021. Despite clarifying the situation, Ayesha noted that some family members still believe the rumours.
Following Shoaib’s marriage to Sana, confirmed by his manager Arsalan Shah, details emerged about his divorce from Sania Mirza. Reports suggest that Sania, unhappy with Malik’s interactions with other women, chose to separate from the cricketer in late 2022.
The news of Malik’s marriage and the subsequent fallout on social media highlight the pervasive impact of celebrity lives on public discourse and the personal challenges faced by those in the limelight.
