Indian Tennis legend Sania Mirza finally broke her silence on her husband’s wedding to a Pakistani actress and issued an official statement. In the statement, the actress demands privacy from the fans.
Yesterday, 20th January, Shoaib Malik shared the news with the fans about his marriage with Pakistani actress and Malik’s rumoured girlfriend Sana Javed. After this, fans strengthened speculations about the former’s divorce from Indian tennis star Sania Mirza, though it was officially not announced by any of the sides.
But now, Imran Mirza, father of Sania Mirza, has issued a formal statement on his Official Instagram handle. The statement has been made on behalf of the Mirza family and Team Sania, which refers to Sania Mirza.
The Post reads, “Sania has always kept her personal life away from the public eye. However, today, the need has arisen for her to share that Shoaib and she (Sania Mirza) have been divorced for a few months now. She wishes Shoaib well for his new journey ahead! At this sensitive period of her life, we would like to request all fans and well- wishers to refrain from indulging in any speculation and to respect her need for privacy,”.
Request for Privacy
The post congratulated Shoaib Malik on his upcoming journey. They have clarified the divorce which has already taken place between Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik. But above all, the statement requests the privacy of the tennis star and to avoid infringement of Sania’s private life. Clearly, the family is seeking peace for the moment.
Sania and Malik’s divorce rumours started in early 2022 and were widely discussed on social media. They made changes to their social media accounts, deleting photos together and unfollowing each other. Despite ongoing speculation, Imran Mirza, father of Sania, confirmed to the news agency PTI that she had divorced her husband through a process called ‘khula,’ where a Muslim woman can unilaterally divorce her husband.
