Six-time Grand Slam winner Sania Mirza conveyed “best wishes” to her former husband and ex-Pakistan cricket captain Shoaib Malik “for his new journey ahead” a day after he took to social media to share pictures of his wedding with Pakistani actor Sana Javed.
In a text message, Sania’s father Imran Mirza said
that his daughter had
always kept her personal
life away from the public eye. “However, today the need has arisen for her to share that Shoaib and she have been
divorced for a few months now,” he said.
“At this sensitive
period of her life, we would like to request all fans and well-wishers to refrain from mudslinging in any speculation
and to respect her need for privacy,” the
statement said on Sunday.
