WATCH: Shoaib Malik’s wife Sana Javed faces backlash at PSL 2024, fans chant Sania Mirza’s name
Former Pakistan’s skipper Shoaib Malik recently tied the knot to Pakistani actress Sana Javed following his divorce from Indian tennis player Sania Mirza. However, as Sana Javed was cheering on Shoaib Malik and his team at the Multan Cricket Stadium and playing all over cricket for Karachi Kings in the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL 2024), some fans were seen making fun of her and yelling “Sania Mirza in front of her.”
In a video that has gone viral on X, fans can be seen chanting “Sania Mirza” while she walks around the sidelines. However, Sana Javed manages to keep her poise and walk through the trolls. Many people on social media have expressed their backing for Sana Javed after the video went viral. Many others stated that she did not deserve this kind of dislike because it wasn’t her fault that her husband decided to remarry after divorcing Indian Tennis player Sania Mirza.

Notably, multiple criticisms of Shoaib Malik and Sana’s marriage have been expressed on social media. However, known for his amazing cricket career, the 42-year-old was previously married to Ayesha Siddiqui in 2002. But on April 7, 2010, they filed for divorce, ending their marriage. After that, Shoaib Malik tied the knot with Indian Tennis star Sania Mirza in the same year.

However, Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed get married in 2024. This choice was made in response to Sania Mirza’s decision to go to Khula with him. Meanwhile, people on the Internet from Pakistan and India condemned Shoaib Malik for ‘cheating’ on Sania. Notably, the Indian tennis player used to cryptically post on social media for more than a year before opening up about their “divorce” and “separation.”
The rumours about their divorce spread among their followers, who believed that Shoaib’s affair with another Pakistani model was the cause of their split. However, neither Shoaib nor Sania Mirza said anything about it for over a year.
